00:00Our first category today is going to be snowboard men.
00:06We're going to see the next man in the gate, Holden Samuels,
00:10another one out of Bozeman, Montana,
00:14and dropping in from start two.
00:25Taking his first air and heading over
00:29to find the next one.
00:33A big air through that close out Vashna air.
00:41Now taking this one off the toe side with the backside.
00:48Holden looking strong here, laying out the backflip, perfect landing.
00:54Just looking so smooth through that whole run.
00:58That was incredible.
01:04We see back up the beautiful start gate at the top of Kicking Horse,
01:08we've got Michael Maughan.
01:11He is so technically proficient in challenging snow conditions,
01:15and that's something I've witnessed in person.
01:17So I'm so excited to see what he has coming into the top section,
01:21making quick work of those sharks and a nice three off the top,
01:24over the bench, shutting it down, staying in control, popping again.
01:34Another three, stomping it.
01:43Michael Maughan showing us what he can do in tough snow.
01:50Next rider in the gate, Timmy Schroeder.
01:57So Timmy Schroeder on course.
01:59Also dropping in from start two there.
02:07Taking a bit more speed across here, looking smooth.
02:12Hitting into that feature with just a single turn above.
02:15So not afraid of the speed.
02:17Going over to this same rider's left side that we saw Hugo go to
02:20and going big off that, already on the edge and making his way over
02:25into this relatively untapped zone with a 360 above exposure.
02:30Timmy Schroeder white rooming himself.
02:34Timmy Schroeder with a backflip, perfect landing.
02:42That was epic.
02:46Really making a strong claim here in his first ever FWT run.
02:53Liam Rivera from right here in Verbier is on the back.
03:04The snow is pretty good in here.
03:05I think some of this luck is being cleared out, so
03:09still have to be conscious of that, that he's managing it well.
03:12Taking some air there, catching some speed.
03:14As we pull back, Liam, there's nothing under him but ginormous cliffs.
03:18The Hollywood Cliffs straight off the nose, Liam Rivera stomps it.
03:27Enormous air and just getting that speed under control.
03:31Liam now still not letting go with a backflip, bringing it around to his feet
03:35perfectly, Liam Rivera showing that he is at home in his backyard
03:40with an incredible display of freestyle.
03:44Incredible run there from the local rider.
03:50As we head back on up to the top, another very dangerous man on this face,
03:54Jonathan Penfield.
03:56This is his home.
03:57I cannot wait to see what he brings to the bench.
04:07Jonathan with a huge 360 to enter the dogleg, what a move.
04:14Well, Jon and Pal now on the heel side and going way over into an area
04:29that we haven't seen much action, airing over that rock section
04:32and stomping clean again.
04:34So Jon Pal linking up a huge number of big features on the Bec d'Eros.
04:41And even that small area, you look at what he's doing it above.
04:44You cannot overstate another big one from Jon.
04:50For him to cross the line safe and sound, Jonathan Penfield through the gate.
05:04Victor, as always, looking for the inspiration from the mountain.
05:09Bomb dropping off the corners and starting things off with a double.
05:13He is our 360, making his way down through beauty turns,
05:19finding another 360 and just sneaking underneath that rock.
05:25Yeah, just redirecting there.
05:27Victor De La Rue now coming into this lower bed.
05:29Backside three, another perfect stomp, three 360s in.
05:33And he is now setting up above this exposure.
05:36Victor De La Rue coming into another big feature.
05:39Backside 360 stomps it.
05:45What a beautiful run, finding some air on these wind lips,
05:48enjoying that unbelievable snow.
05:49This man is on fire.
