Jamie Goldman tops Slopestyle Qualifiers
Lopes and Kintner take Mountain Cross - along with Ryan Newman
Cam McRae



The changing of the guard in freeride is in full swing but it took a new direction in the Slopestyle qualifier. Instead of youth domination it was the Euros who took four of the top five spots.  We'll see tomorrow but it looks like the top half of the qualifier field may have put on a better show than the bottom half of the invited pros.  There were no big surprises in the pro mens Mountain Cross with Brian Lopes taking the win.  Jill Kintner stood atop the women's podium.
