Kaya Turski

Kayak TurskiOn her first run in Women s Slopestyle Skiing, Canada 's Kaya Turski set the pace with a score of 93.66. That score held through the remaining two rounds, earning her a second-consecutive gold medal in the event.

"I feel elated right now," Turski said of her back-to-back wins. "I put a lot of pressure on myself. The level of competition here is so high, all the girls killed it. I luckily had a good first run, a great cab 7 and nailed the cannon. That really eased the pressure."

Turski held off hard-charging Keri Herman, whose final run score of 93.33 earned her the silver medal.

"It was amazing, the competition, the girls were throwing it down, the most tight tricks I've ever seen," Herman said. It's so good that the level's up so high, it's really motivating, I really had to step up my game. It was just incredible today."

Grete Eliassen, who spent most of the season focusing on her movie, took home her second-consecutive bronze medal with a top score of 93.00.

"It's awesome to win again," Eliassen said. "I spent most of my season focusing on 'Say My Name,' so it is cool to come back and progress after that.

Winter X Games 15 marks the 10th year of Skiing Slopestyle. Using the same course as snowboarders, skiers showcase their freestyle skills on a variety of obstacles including rails, kickers, jumps and gaps. Skiers are judged on creativity, trick completion and style.
