In the men's World Cup rankings, France's Bastien Midol leads the way with 335 points.

Switzerland's Alex Fiva and France's Jean-Frédéric Chapuis, who won the first and second events respectively in Idre Fjall, complete the top three.

Fiva sits on 243 points, while Chapuis has 214 to his name.

Men's and women's qualification in Blue Mountain is scheduled to take place tomorrow.

It will be followed by the main events for both genders on Saturday (January 26).

The FIS Freestyle Ski World Championships are due to be held from February 1 to 10.

The ski cross finals will take centre stage on February 2.
