Skye Clarke golden in slopestyle

Skye Clarke (Vancouver) won a gold medal in slopestyle with a first round score of 80.00 and a second round score of 84.6.

“I’d hoped for it, but it was a nice surprise for sure,” said Clarke of winning a medal. “Everything went well and it all pieced together perfectly.”

Clarke said she hadn’t tried landing a switch right seven last March, but pulled it out for the Canada Winter Games. 

“The fact there was two jumps, usually in the competition I am in there is three, and I like to do one switch. So with a switch seven you take off and land switch so usually I don’t get the chance to do that. It was cool to do it here,” said Clarke.

Josephine Howell (Mount Currie) was 5th with a first round score of 39.00 and a second round score of 52.40 More to follow.
