    Words and Photos by Wade Dunstan.

    I hitched a ride to Park City, Utah, to meet some friends and to push chairlift season a little further into the spring. When I arrived, I heard the results of The North Face Masters qualifying day: Jackson Hole was dominating the Top 10. So I decided to go give our hometown heroes Mikey Mahron, Blake Paul, Alex Yoder, John Rodosky, Kyle Clancy and Mark Carter the sort of moral support they probably didn't need. Hoping only to see a break in the forecast of rain on the trip, I hadn't really considered the chance that I'd run into full on winter again this season. As luck would have it, the days leading up to the event had brought ideal conditions to the venue.
    
    The morning saw the women smoothly through their runs. Shannon Yates, of Utah, the 2010 overall champion, reclaimed her title with a confident and solid run. She was followed in second by fellow local Beth Wiessman. In third and fourth place were Cindi Lou Grant and Casey Lucas, respectively.

    A.Y. the young jedi. Alex Yoder, of Jackson, Wyoming, sends it last Saturday at The North Face Masters at Snowbird. Yoder was in second on Day 1, but ended up placing sixth overall.
    

    The men's runs were plagued by intermittent weather and poor visibility. When we finally reached the top of the venue, we were dizzy with vertigo and uneasy from the long unfamiliar traverse over uncertain terrain. The smiling face of Alex Yoder greeted us with surprise and brought us back to reality. For the first hour we were up there, not a single competitor was able to drop. We passed the time catching up with old friends, making new ones and familiarizing ourselves with those surroundings near enough to make out through the dense fog. Eventually, the athletes were told to take a warm-up lap and we were obliged to join our friends on a lap through untracked "Closed for Event" terrain, next to the venue. Arriving at the top again, the weather began to break and athletes were allowed to drop periodically when the dim forms of the finish line and judges tent blurred into view.

    Blake Paul, of Jackson, Wyoming, won the Young Gun award.  Paul was in first on Day one, but tied with Yoder for sixth overall.
     
    Nine hours after the event began, all 35 competitors were able to get in their runs. A lot of hard charging, fast runs were put down. Creative lines were made through hairy zones, the weeks of sunny weather had condensed the snowpack and beneath the new snow lay hidden bits of Mother Earth ready to take riders down and ruin otherwise great runs. After a lofty backside 360 and some technical airs, Mikey Mahron was caught by a shrub and thrown into tomahawks down a double cliff line. It was terrifying.

    The North Face Masters women's podium at Snowbird: 1st) Shannan Yates 2nd) Beth Weissman 3rd) Cindi Lou Grant.
    
    Alex Yoder and Blake Paul both put together smooth and creative runs, landing them together in sixth place. John Rodosky rode out of one of the most exposed landings I've seen and put himself in fifth. Jacob Levine took fourth place, and third was given to Brian Bozack, of Sugar Bowl, CA. whose line was smooth and included several ninja airs. Jamie Rizzuto, of Fernie, B.C., took 2nd, sealing the deal with a backflip mid-course. Sammy Luebke was the standout rider of the day, blasting a clean method in the middle of a run filled with high-speed lines and sizable drops, he took home a Katana for the day and a Howitzer shell for the overall tour title. Blake Paul, who qualified first, was given the Young Gun award for being the most impressive rider under 21.

    The North Face Masters men's podium: 1st) Sammy Leubke 2nd) Jamie Rizzuto 3rd) Brian Bozack.
    
    Overall, it was a good show, and a great time at the The North Face Masters at Snowbird.

    Northstar, California - The second stop of The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series concluded yesterday under sunny skies at Northstar, California. Twenty thousand dollars in prize money was awarded to the top finishers, with James Campbell, of Sugarloaf, Maine, and Yuki Tsubota, of Whistler Blackcomb, Canada taking top honors in the park competition. Topping the podium in the pipe event was Kyle Smaine, of Heavenly, California, and Cassandra Sharpe, of Whistler Blackcomb, Canada. 
     
    Qualifiers for the men's park competition took place on Friday, with fifty-three male athletes trying to advance to the semi-finals in a best-of two run format. Then on Saturday, with partly cloudy spring-like conditions, twenty-two male and eleven female competitors battled it out in the park semi-finals and finals.
    
    Taking top honors for the men was James Campbell, who delivered a near flawless run top to bottom, consisting of technical combos on the rail section, and then linked two back-to-back double flips, a switch left-side double rodeo 900 and a left double cork 1080 high mute grab, scoring an 89.00.
     
    "James perfectly executed the hardest run of the day, hands down. He was solid on both rails, had spins both ways and back to back doubles." stated head judge and AFP General Manager, Steele Spence.
     
    Rounding out the men's podium in second place was Spencer Milbocker of Bittersweet, Michigan scoring an 86.2 and Cody Cirillo of Breckenridge, Colorado in third with an 85.00.

    

    In the women's park competition, The North Face athlete Yuki Tsubota dominated the field with her technical and smooth skiing. Yuki slid both rail features and then was the only female to successfully land a left-side cork 720, scoring an 87.2.
     
    In second place was Catherine Warchal, of Camelback, Pennsylvania, stomping the landing on a crowd pleasing double front-flip, receiving a score of 80.80. Rounding out the women's podium in third was Taylor Lundquist of Park City, Utah receiving an 85.00.

    

    Semi-finals and finals for the men's and women's pipe competition took place on Sunday in Northstar's Olympic caliber, twenty-two foot tall, five hundred ten-foot long superpipe, under perfect, sunny, blue sky conditions.
     
    Taking top honors for the men was Kyle Smaine with an outstanding run consisting of a double flair and left and right side spins boosting with amplitude that left the judges on the edge of their seats. Smaine's winning run scored a 92.60.
     
    In second place was the technical freeskiing master, Patrick Baskins of Vail, Colorado, scoring an 89.80 with his smooth switch left and right spins and flawless left-side 1260 to end his run. Rounding out the podium in third placewas park champion, James Campbell scoring an 84.00. 

    

    "The men's pipe finals today were legitimate by anyone's standards. First place finisher, Kyle Smaine, displayed he was a force to be reckoned with, with his amplitude, matching of pipe transitions, and perfect technical execution," stated head judge and AFP General Manager, Steele Spence.
     
    On the women's side of the pipe competition, Cassandra Sharpe positioned herself on the top of the podium with a run consisting of a smooth right-side flair, the only invert attempted and landed by a female in the event, scoring herself a 77.00.
     
    Maggie Stout of Blue Mountain, Ontario finished in second place with her very technical spins in both directions and consistent amplitude, scoring herself a 73.00. In third place was Abigale Hansen from Mammoth, CA earning a 69.60.
     
    "I was impressed with the up-coming talent in the women's field. I look forward to seeing the ladies taketheir runs to the next level of halfpipe skiing. Cassandra Sharpe showed she was not afraid to put it all on the line for the competition with her amplitude and inverted airs," said judge and freeskiing legend, Skogen Sprang. 

    

    All weekend long the competitions started with a forerun by 11-year old Aspen Spora, who was fresh from forerunning the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. He displayed to all the competitors in the event the youthful talent emerging from the next generation of freeskiers.
