David Wise completed the 3-peat in Ski Superpipe while Maddie Bowman took her second straight victory on the women's side.  Wise boosted very technical tricks from both sides of the pipe and looks to be the men's favorite for Gold in Sochi. 19 year old Aspen local Alex Ferreira broke through to grab the Bronze. Bowman, from Lake Tahoe bested a very competitive field and will be seeking Gold in Sochi too.   Ski Superpipe makes it's Olympic debut in Sochi.

Max Parrot from Montreal topped a powerful international field in Snowboard Big Air.  He stomped a backside triple 1620 to solidify the win.

In Snowboarder X hard charging Nate Holland pocketed his 7th Gold while super star Lindsey Jacobellis nabbed her 8th Gold,  the most ever by any woman at X Games.   Both Americans will be favorites in Sochi.
