Women's qualies start tonight at 8PM EST and finals at 11pm EST, who's stoked?

Who do you think is going to win? Personally I think its a toss up, Sarah Hoefflin, Maggie, Johanne, Tess who knows

So far I'm liking their rails better than snowboarding. But I really hope they step this up for finals. 3, 3, 5 is not Olympic calibre. Where's sildaru to shake things up

She should have made final. That was unfortunate they scored her like .2 below. They just wanted Maggie in the finals

I wanted her to make finals, skied with her at big boulder a few times. If she wouldnt have knuckled the last jump i think she would have been 12.

She should have been 12 even with the knuckle I think. They put her 0.2 below Maggie, but they could have just as easily put her .2 above. That took so long for them to decide too. Their discussion definitely just came down to "who do we want to see more in the finals" and they chose Maggie.

They definitely had their calculators out to make sure they didn't accidentally put her above Maggie. My guess would be because they think Maggie has more potential to do well in finals.

Sucked to see Tess crash out because her run was pretty heavy otherwise. You know that was going to be a dub 10 at the bottom in finals too but that's how it goes. Finals should hopefully be a big step up. You could see a few of the riders were figuring out speed to try and send much bigger runs when the time comes.

Mike Atkinson redeeming the commentating. They should just have him do the whole thing. The other dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

Also that tailwind is really messing with them.

She only 180s off the "eagle/mustache" feature, the judges don't like that. Also some girls are throwing dubs so she can't expect to break 90 without one.

I don't post on this site that often. It's a young man's game.

That was by far and away one of the best slope contests in a while. So fun to watch. That bio 9 was damn smooth and a lead change in the last round!? Ladies throwing dubs. Outrageous. Those are the tricks we saw the likes of CR Johnson throw back in the day.

We should all give it up for the skiers throwing down on one of the cooler slope courses in a while. This has nothing to do with them being women and everything to do with skiers showing other skiers what was once thought as impossible as being totally doable. Fuck yeah, friends.

For tomorrow's men's slope, if you can access a VPN or proxy that makes your IP look Canadian (just Google one) you can probably stream the whole thing free on olympics.cbc.ca

I'll have to put a little more effort in tomorrow for sure. Not sure if my vpn provider gives me the option for Canadia.
