I know it’s March, but it’s still Cold! Snowboarding is still big and is still holding qualifiers for the 2014 Olympics. Part of the qualification was held during the World Snowboarding tour.
This season apparently was extra long because of the Olympic Qualifiers, and at seasons end Mark McMorris was the 2012/13 World Snowboard Tour Slopestyle Champion.
Not only did Mark win, but he beat heavily favored Peetu Piiorinen and Torstein Horgmo to take the Slopestyle Title. Actually McMorris wasn’t even aware he had won the tour until the press conference following the final event.
McMorris didn’t win the tour handily, but he was the most consistent after dominating the 6star level which included the X Games and Burton US Open.
