ASPEN, Colorado — In last year's inaugural women's slopestyle skiing competition, Kaya Turski lost a ski in her first run but was still able to grab the bronze medal. Following the competition, she told the press that she had hoped for a better result in 2010.
Those hopes came true, as Turski's third run that resulted in a score of 96.66 and the gold medal, the first gold awarded during Winter X Games 14.
“I can't even explain what this means,” Turski said. “I have been working for this my entire life. To win X Games is a dream come true.”
Breckenridge's Keri Herman grabbed the silver with last year's silver medalist, Grete Eliassen, winning the bronze.
Colorado Rocky Mountain School graduate Megan Olenick, who grew up in Carbondale, finished fifth with a top score of 79.33.
“It feels pretty unreal, I can't believe it,” Herman said. “Everyone killed it today. We had perfect weather and I feel so lucky to be standing up here.”
Skiing slopestyle uses the same course as snowboarders, with skiers showcasing their freestyle skills on a variety of obstacles, including rails, kickers, jumps and grabs.
