World Cup Halfpipe Season Opens
Olympic silver medalist Gretchen Bleiler (Aspen, CO) and X Games bronze medalist Scotty Lago (Seabrook, NH) opened the World Cup halfpipe season with victories in today's first of two contests set for the glacier in Saas Fee.
"It's always good to start with a win," said Bleiler, "I really haven't ridden pipe since August in Australia so I'm pretty pumped. The weather was pretty gnarly with some heavy wind picking up toward the end of the day and visibility was tough at times, but it's still good to have a win to open the season."
