Oscar Wester has been skiing really well
Goepper is always in the mix
Henrik skis well at X usually
Could see a surprise podium from a guy like Oystein

I hope andri ragettli gets to compete, he could do well. Gus kenworthy looks good, and if joss is on form he can take it easy.

not saying he doesn't have a chance, but Joss/Geopper/Gus/Wallisch/Henrik all have a better shot at winning in my opinion

With 3 jumps I'd say Woodsy has a good chance if he can land his left triple on the bottom jump...

I just don't think Henrik could back up from ski big air the night before. So he's out in my opinion for slope. Nick is going to win. McRae maybe might podium? Yet to see the course so rails will play a huge feature I believe with only three jumps. I believe there will be more emphasis on the rails this year.

The Swedes shall get revenge from the poor judging at the Olympics! They will be blessed by the slopestyle judges, which ultimately results in a staggering trio looking like this!

1. Oscar Wester
2. Henrik Harlaut
3. Jesper Tjäder

I´ll be sitting in my sofa watching my prediction come to life like:

while the Swedes sweep the podium like:

Evan McEachran didn't get to put down a solid run for his debut at Dew last month, so I predict an ultimate redemption from him.
