I watched the videos of the top 3 skiers, and top 3 boarders from sloestyle. Is it just me or did skiing kick snowboardings ass.

well shaun white did three differnt 9's and thats sick. danny kass did a sw bs rodeo which is so hard. marc frank deffently had one of the sicket runs. he did a nollie tailside 270 out on the hand rail which is so hard. i think only one skier tried to 270 on to the 'stiarzilla' but a bunch of snowboarders did it.

snowboarders got the fresh course and the bluebird day, which sucks. Due to the flatness of the course the skiers could get faster in the course, which would lend itself to uncontrollable steezitude.

also, a skier really needs to do some Danny Kass style 'stoney baloney' shit, that's soo cool!

i thought shauns runs was the best snowboard run i've seen. His 900 was actually 900. Not 720 then a 180 down the transition like most of those guys.

i was extremely impressed with the sickness and competition in the slopestyle this year. other than shaun white's 3 9s, none of the snowboarders had anything compared to the majority of the skiers in the final

^same. in sb pipe last night some guy was trying a 1080 or something and ended up throwing a shitty 720 just above the deck then whipped a 360 around. looked terrible

I love Danny Kass's stoner style. he had a gnarly grab his second run but then had some debatable tricks
