The rain earlier in the week made for very icy conditions on the hill and froze to all the trees--which looked surreal when the sun came out for finals.

The sun came out for finals and made for good spectating.

Third place finisher, Jenny Jones from the UK, with a big backside 180.

Jamie Anderson spinning three here and hit all the big jumps straight into second place.

New Hampshire's Chas Guldemond struggled to stick his whole run on the icy course in finals

There was a lot at stake in the slopestyle competition, including $20,000, 10,000 BGOS points, and 1,250 Swatch TTR points for the top male and 1,000 points for the top female.

"I feel great," said Shaun White. "I wasn't planning on competing, but I thought I would take a run this morning to see how I felt. I really liked the landings, we lucked out with the weather and I ended up taking it. I'm stoked."

Cheryl Maas landed in fifth place.
