In total 16 women advance to tomorrowÕs finals on North Baldy.

"I'm stoked on the group of girls here," said todayÕs second place finisher Colby Adams. "It's always fun when the intensity is raised. Whether you qualify or not, it's just fun."

MenÕs tour veteran Kevin OÕMeara of Squaw Valley, CA, cleanly executed several huge cliff drops to lead the menÕs field with 41.63 points. Whistler, BCÕs Mathieu Gagnon-Theriault sits in second with 39.13 points, and in third is Brett Crabtree of Blackcomb, BC with 38.38 points.
