Thursday at the Winter X Games Europe 2011 was a snowy one to say the least. With the clouds not giving up and taking out the snowboarding in the process (fear not for you snowboarders, it’s delayed until this evening), the men’s slopestyle was going to be an interesting one. JF Houle dominated the elimination round yesterday and was laying down the tricks to beat as the first run commenced!

JF Houle: nosebutter 450, into a 720, then a leftside 450, switch 270 on 270 off, huge double cork 1080, ending with a rightside mute 900.

Andreas Hatveit: rightside 900, lipside 270 transfer in the rail park, double cork 1080, forward leftside double cork 1080.

James Woods: rightside 450, 270 out, leftside 900, switch 450, front 360 swtch, rightside double cork 1260, swtich rightside 720 mute.
