ESPN would say that this years Winter X-Games was the biggest to date. Being viewed in 234 million homes across 154 countries. It was a huge audience to see the Canadian riders showcase their skills and show that they are a competitor in freestyle snowboarding

The next event to take place was Slopestyle and once again it was taken over by the Canadian born boys. 18 year old Seb "Toots" Toutant took first followed by Marc McMorris from Regina. The next major event was Big Air and Mr. Horgmo blew the crowd away with the first triple cork to ever be thrown down in competition. Toots took second and McMorris was just off the podium in forth. It's nice to see the Canadians taking competition seriously.
Shawn White "surprisingly" won Superpipe with fellow americans, Scotty Lagos and Louie Vito in second and third. Other canadians to place were Kevin Hill from Vernon, British Columbia in Snowboard Cross.
