Whistler shredder and Doglotion favourite Brett Crabtree has earned another podium for the season. Not on top like Crested Butte, but hey, he had to give someone else a chance. Here's what went down at Snowbird...

After an extraordinarily exciting day of skiing, Jaclyn Passo of Squaw Valley, CA, wins the women’s title and Dylan Crossman takes first in the stacked international men’s division, as the 11th Annual Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Nationals concluded today on North Baldy at Snowbird Ski Resort, Utah.

The 10th Annual Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Nationals, the largest freeskiing competition on North American soil, kicked off yesterday under gorgeous, sunny skies on the Silver Fox area of Snowbird Ski Resort. After receiving over four feet of snow prior to the contest, conditions were ripe for competitors to put on an amazing show for the huge crowd which gathered at the base of the venue.

100 foot front flip to flat. A Goliath move but not rewarded. Today was the day of the Davids.

The clouds rolled in, the clouds rolled out. In between, Day 1 of the World Tour kicked off on Silverfox with the women.

I left Whistler before the big storms hit. 40 cms in one day. I was doubtful, especially when Ryan, Mike and Elsa arrived to Salt Lake City with smiles, stories and pictures to back it up. But Snowbird had its own pounding, a little every day to keep the skiercross course workers busy.

On Wednesday, February 1st the "2006 Snowbird US Skiercross and Freeskiing Nationals" kicked-off with local Whistler boy Davie Barr taking 1st place in the skiercross.
