The competition got underway at Buttermilk Mountain on Thursday during X Games Aspen 2013, and Team O'Neill was represented throughout the day. David Wise started where he finished off last year, placing first in the Ski Superpipe elimination round and is in prime position to defend his gold on Friday night. In Snowboard Slopestyle, Max Parrot wowed the crowd by placing third in elims heading into Saturday's final, following up his win at the O'Neill Evolution in Davos, Switzerland last week.
