At Day 4 of THST in Sun Valley, Idaho the ski halfpipe finals were the most anticipated event of the day, if not the entire week. It is most certain, that this event did not disappoint anyone who successfully hiked up the steep and slick mountain. If you made it up, you saw some of the most dynamic and athletic skiing ever! Here are the complete ski halfpipe final results and a little about just trying to make it up that mountain.
I believe that at this point in my THST Sun Valley blog I don’t need to share with you that it was cold, but boy was it cold! Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. I wonder how times I said, or heard someone talk about being cold this weekend? Just as a social experiment, I did try counting at the skiercross finals, but realized this was slightly psychotic when the numbers went into the double digits in only a minute.
Climbing up the mountain to get a front row seat for the ski halfpipe competition at THST was more challenging than I had anticipated, but worth every single step! Put it this way, I saw some friends walking up the hill that I know are much, much more athletic than myself having a difficult time. I also was sadly aware that there were others that were simply not fit enough to make the trek up the steep terrain...too bad. The ski halfpipe finals, in my opinion, was the must see event of the entire weekend and without a doubt should be recognized as an Olympic sport, as soon as possible!
The ski halfpipe athletes are skiers, aerialist and gymnasts all rolled in one. I have never experienced anything like watching these athletes soar way above my head, while throwing awe-inspiring tricks and landing them effortlessly. These athletes need the respect that they so greatly deserve, immediately. I had no idea how unquestionably talented these skiers were until I saw the ski halfpipe with my own eyes and in person!
It was also thrilling to see Mike Riddle and Matt Hayward, athletes that both my husband and I had spent some quality time with over the weekend (look for indepth interviews with many of THST ski halfpipe athletes in the near future), not only make the finals, but generate some of the top performances of the entire night.
Simon Dumont was the $25,000 winner of the ski halfpipe competition at THST in Sun Valley. Congratulations Simon! I honestly was unaware that a human being was capable of performing those tricks, on or off of skis! You are nothing short of amazing!
Here is the complete list for THST-Sun Valley ski halfpipe finals, as well as the current point leaders of THST:
