Fiery explosions lit up the night sky and the thousands of stunned observers as the spins kept getting faster and the airs kept getting sicker. With $44,000 dollars on the line, and a 65 foot step over gap to play with, everyone seemed prepared to throw the biggest, gnarliest tricks in their arsenal. The format dictated that the final three from each category hit a 540, then 720, 900 and then any trick of their choosing. The final round was freestyle, allowing for some 1260s and other huge tricks to be showcased.

Sarah Burke through a huge 1260 in the micro final and Ashley Battersby dropped every hit switch. The men skied tight, but perhaps the biggest highlight were Justin Dorey's double misty 1080s. Apparently a new trick, he was unfortunate not to stick it and claim the cash. Check out the results below.
