Two days of big skiing and bigger air, two days of jumping off cliffs and pulling 360s off of huge cornices. Nearly 50 competitors took on the 3rd Annual Subaru Telluride Freeskiing Open on Feb. 8 and 9. Six came out on top.

Griffin Post took the men's super final with 107 points, 5.5 points more than Josh Daiek and 6.62 points more than third place John Nicoletta. All three men put in "stunning performances" for the final.

In the women's super final, Hannah Whitney dropped cliffs and laid down spectacular turns to beat Crystal Wright by less than a point.

Another award given was the North Face Young Gun Award, honoring freeskiers under 21, to Scott McBrayer. The Tobias Lee Sickbird Award, given to the skier with the most spirited, most extraordinary run, went to the late Tobias's older brother Elijah Lee, a poignant moment for this year's Freeskiing Open.

The tour will now move to Squaw Valley, CA for the next leg.
