that rider/discipline list must be wrong- jon competing in pipe? the finns not in pipe? seems very unlikely to me.

anyways, i hope this event goes down well

Results for slopestyle heats #1 and #2 are online.

http://www.orage.com/europeanopen

Heats #3 and #4 results should be online within the hour (they are still running). Photos/videos coming later tonight, and Jeff Schmuck is writing an update as we speak. Aside from the skiing highlights, this was probably the first-ever slopestyle where part of the course was taken out by an avi! More to come...
