Max Parrot led a Canadian one-two at the men’s International Ski Federation (FIS) Snowboard Big Air competition in Copper Mountain today.

The 22-year-old had topped Thursday’s (December 15) qualification round and mastered the conditions on the slopes in the United States again, finishing with a score of 188.75 points.

This put him in front of team-mate Sebatien Toutant, who scored 176.00 after pulling off a cab 1620, while US snowboarder Ryan Stassel picked up third place with 167.50, preventing Canada from claiming a clean sweep of the podium as Max Eberhardt came fourth on 159.50.

Parrot’s routine in the final featured backside and frontside triple 1440s which wowed the judges, but the Canadian admitted afterwards his preparations had not been all that smooth.

"I did the back triple 14 in my first run, a pretty easy trick for myself," he said.

"But then I did the front triple 14, which is a trick which I had trouble with this week.

"Yesterday, I stomped it a couple of times, but I was always putting my hand down.

"So I’m really happy to put it down in the second run with a hand down."

His win also saw Parrot jump ahead in the overall Big Air World Cup rankings, putting him on 1,800 points.

Stassel also moved up the table into second on 1,720, ahead of Canada’s Mark McMorris, who had been leading the standings before this weekend.

In the women’s competition, there was home delight for Jamie Anderson as the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics slopestyle gold medallist topped the podium.

Only four of the six boarders who qualified for the final took part as Britain’s Katie Ormerod and Norway’s Kjersti Buaas pulled out.

Anderson finished on 151.25, landing a switch backside 540 and cab 720 on the way to a seventh career World Cup event title.

Enni Rukajarvi of Finland came second on 147 while Thursday’s top qualifier, Klaudia Medlova, was third as the Slovakian scored 146.50.

"It was a fun day today," Anderson said afterwards.

"I’m happy and I’m grateful."

Anderson’s success has moved her into third place in the overall Big Air World Cup standings on 1,450.

Austria’s Anna Gasser, who has not competed in Colorado due to injury, remains on top of the rankings with 3,000 points, but Ormerod was still able to cut the lead to 890 despite pulling out of the final.

Big Air competition will now take a break over Christmas before the next leg takes place in Moscow, Russia, on January 7.
