Thursday belonged to USA skier Kendall Deighan (Vail, CO) as she swept the U.S. Revolution Tour, winning both the women's slopestyle and halfpipe skiing contests at Mt. Hood Meadows, OR. The USA's Tanner Coulter (Eagle, CO) and Daniel Rosenblum (Stamford, CT) grabbed wins in the men’s slopestyle and halfpipe skiing respectively.
Eagle-Vail local, 14-year old Cas Sheridan, the youngest competitor in the field finished 14th!
After weather postponed Wednesday’s halfpipe competition, skiers were determined to compete in both halfpipe and slopestyle Thursday despite rain and fog. Deighan took the top spot in the women’s slopestyle with a score of 60.50, followed by Kirsten Cooley (Colorado Springs, CO) and Katie Turner (Littleton, CO).
"I was definitely a little tentative waking up this morning, but the course ran really well,"said Deighan of her winning run. "It felt really good."
On the men’s side, Coulter captured the slopestyle crown with a score of 90.00 beating out second place finisher Andy Partridge (Park City, UT) and third's Taeden Schneider-Clark of Canada.
Deighan capped her successful Thursday with an afternoon halfpipe victory. Behind her finished Maddie Eakin (Bend, OR) and Renee Shapiro (Sun Valley, ID).
Rounding out the action, Rosenblum won the men’s halfpipe event, scoring a 31.30, topping second place Conor Garrecht-Connelly (Steamboat Springs, CO) and third place Carson Lehouillier (Squaw Valley, CA).
The U.S. Revolution Tour continues Friday with the men’s and women’s skicross and snowboardcross.
