During Wednesday’s snowboarding slopestyle competition, athletes went through three rail sections and over three large jumps. Participants competed for a cash prize, points toward winning the series and a chance to compete at the next level. According to Westminster College student and competitor Lukas Caye, the competition was tight. “It kind of took a lot to make it to finals today,” he said. “A lot of people were landing a lot of good runs.” But many athletes were also decking — landing their jumps without clearing the plateau (called the knuckle) and failing to reach the safety of the downslope. Caye said the rail sections were excellent — closely grouped, allowing a variety of technical lines — but the jumps were problematic in ways that made the course feel designed more for a skier than a snowboarder.

G H BEN RAMSEY/PARK RECORD A snowboarder comes over the third jump during the men’s slopestyle finals at the Toyota U.S. Revolution Tour on Wednesday. The course served as a test event for the 2019 World Championships. “The jumps were a little bit big for the speed required to clear them,” he said. “It’s not that steep of a run, so if you don’t make the first one, you’re not going to make (jump) two because you didn’t land (jump) one with enough speed to go into two and clear it. But I think it was a fun course.” The Revolution Tour’s Park City stop also served as a test event for the 2019 FIS Freestyle, Freeski and Snowboard World Championships, which are set to be held at PCMR and Deer Valley Resort. Caye said, if he were to ride it again (ideally at the World Championships), he would hope for a smoother transition to the lip of the jump. Calum Clark, chief of systems and operations for U.S. Ski and Snowboard and chairperson for the organizing committee for the 2019 World Championships, said MOUNTAIN TRAILS FOUNDATION Silver Quinn, Matt’s Flatt, Quarry Road, Two Pines, Round Valley Express, Hat Trick and Fairway Hills were all listed as groomed and ready for Nordic skiing on Friday, according to the Mountain Trails website.

Please see Rails, B-3 Saturday, March 3, 2018 REGIONAL FORECAST FIVE DAY FORECAST FOR PARK CITY ALMANAC the course was built to the length, vertical drop and approximate size jumps that will be used in 2019 World Championships. “However,” Clark wrote in an email, “we have identified some design enhancements for the World Championship course based on this year’s experience.” Those enhancements included addressing the speed and lip issues that Caye mentioned. “The designers had the chance to see how the course worked and need to make some adjustments to the design to manage the athletes speed, as well as the shape of the kickers,” Clark wrote. “There are also plans on how to present the rail section of the course to help complete the design package.” Caye, seeded first, broke into the finals, but struggled on the third jump in his final run. First place went to Lyon Farrel, followed by Sean Fitszimmons in second and Dave Tetzlaff in third. On the women’s side, Jade Thurgood, of Park City Ski and Snowboard, took second overall. A big backflip off the second jump clinched her podium spot. “I landed like at the third line,” she said, describing the downslope. “It scared me so much. ... I thought (the jump) was slow, but then when I opened up I was still falling so I was like, ‘Oh my God, here we go.’” Fortunately for Thurgood, she landed well, and continued to her City Aspen Boulder Butte Colorado Springs Elko Ely Evanston Flagstaff Gallup Grand Canyon Grand Junction Gunnison Idaho Falls Jackson Hole Mesquite Missoula Ogden Page Pocatello Provo Pueblo Reno Rexburg St. George Salt Lake City Spokane Sun Valley Tahoe Twin Falls Yellowstone Saturday Hi Lo W 52 26 s 61 36 s 30 9 c 70 36 s 34 16 sn 37 13 sn 38 20 sf 46 27 pc 61 33 s 50 26 c 62 39 pc 51 19 pc 36 23 sf 33 21 sf 63 40 c 37 17 c 41 29 sf 63 42 pc 35 25 sf 48 30 c 71 27 s 30 17 sn 35 23 sf 60 37 c 47 34 sf 41 23 c 31 16 sf 22 6 sn 35 22 sf 27 9 sf Sunday Hi Lo W 36 9 sn 57 30 pc 24 4 sf 54 29 s 35 9 pc 30 0 s 25 14 sn 40 14 s 49 14 sn 40 12 s 46 23 sn 38 11 sn 33 17 c 27 14 sn 56 36 s 32 20 sf 36 24 sf 50 29 pc 34 22 sn 38 21 sn 63 25 pc 39 18 pc 31 16 sn 53 28 pc 38 28 sn 39 27 sf 32 8 sf 33 7 s 36 23 sn 21 -1 sf Interstate 80: Slower travel can be expected with snow Saturday.
