Danny adds a little more reverse camber to his Banana technology board with all those Gs he's pullin on that tail. Air to Fakie on the first hit.

Steve Fisher went twelve-feet double overhead Hawaiian off the first hit.

Molly Aguirre was sending it down the pipe. It¿s so good to see her back in top form. She placed fourth.

Steve Fisher got best bail or best wreck or something for landing ass first on the coping a little further down the pipe. Ouuuuch!

Ah yeah, Meg Pugh in effect!

Mason Aguirre spun his way into fifth place after placing second in yesterday¿s slopestyle.

Markus Keller bones it out for the apathetic audience. Get these people some foam fingers or something.

Lizzy Beerman hits the sweetspot for the foaming media frenzy.

Danny's taking the high road down the pipe.

Lisa Wiik put down solid ruins but not enough for the podium.

Kjersti Buaas grabs where it counts. Take notes ladies. Third place and 3,000 bucks.

Santa Cruz' Iouri Podlatchikov, the old I-Pod was sending it down the pipe, good enough for third place!

Loose indeed, but that kind of high-speed amplitude can only mean one thing: Andy Finch was in full effect. Fourth place and four Gs.

Mike Goldschmidt held on with both hands for a wild ride through the pipe. He got served during practice so he was unable to make it to his finals run.

This is what a first place finish looks like. And the crowd went wild!

Point your cameras at the sky, Finch is dropping!

Elena Hight easily reclaimed her first place title for the second year in a row. NBD.

First place finisher Elena Hight gets some height while avoiding the sketchy follow cam dude.

Elena Hight took it for the ladies, followed by Lizzy Beerman, and Kjersti Buaas in third. Kjersti spaced the awards ceremony.

In the end, Louie Vito came in a close, close second behind Danny Kass, followed by I-Pod in third.

ON THE COVER: Luca Debari and Marie-France Roy were out on the Conquihalla Pass in BC filming for The Shred Remains. Filmer Gary Pendygrasse's bro took them to this misty spot. The crew scoped out this "golf ball" feature and built it up, but then weather moved in. They came back a few days later with a fresh dumping of snow on it. Features like this with a landing are surprisingly hard to find. This was Debari's first hit of the day and Senior Photog Ashley Barker's first shot of the day. MORE INSIDE THIS ISSUE >>
