Utah 2019 slopestyle podium: N/A (cancelled due to weather)
Sierra Nevada 2017 slopestyle podium: G - Tess Ledeux (FRA), S - Emma Dahlstrom (SWE), B - Isabel Atkin (GBR)
Coming into the women’s big air and slopestyle competitions here in Aspen this week we see a bit of an interesting situation as far as the reigning gold medallist goes, as France’s Tess Ledeux is currently the owner of the most recent gold medals for both events - although both those titles from different World Championships.
Ledeux became the youngest-ever Freeski World Champion when she took the slopestyle win four years ago in Sierra Nevada, and then followed that up with the big air victory two years later at the Utah 2019 world champs. When the women’s slopestyle competition at Utah 2019 was cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions, Ledeux was left to own the crown for another couple of years.

Fresh snowfall overnight made for a sticky superpipe in the morning, but it wasn’t enough to slow down Basalt’s Hanna Faulhaber in her world championship debut on Wednesday at Buttermilk Ski Area.
The 16-year-old was fifth in the women’s halfpipe skiing qualifier and will compete for the world title in Friday’s final.
“I feel amazing. It was pretty slow in the beginning, but that last run was super fast and I got to ski how I like to ski, going big. So it really felt good,” Faulhaber said. “It’s so nice to be able to compete at home, just sleeping in my own bed, being around all the people I love, having my family be able to be out here.”
