While the wind put the brakes on Slope practice it didn't stop good old DH. The lack of qualifying runs made for some uncertainty of just how much speed to pour on. Things were fast and loose here in Les Gets. Rachel Atherton and Troy Brosnan put down the winning runs today.

The wild Frenchman. It wasn't meant to be today but it's not a World Cup either.
Please don’t ruin the event with comments like, “didn’t win, but it’s not a World Cup.” Your right, it’s not a World Cup. It’s actaully better, we haven’t seen it a million times.
