Winter X-Games at Aspen, CO, Recap Day 1 - SnowBrains
"As a reminder, slopestyle events are courses that are set up with a rail section up top that connects directly into a series of transitions and massive jumps below. The idea is that the rider who puts together the most complete, clean run from top to bottom wins the competition."
"The podium ended up having Mia Brookes as the gold medalist, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott as the second-place silver medalist, and Cocomo Murase taking bronze. I also enjoyed watching Jamie Anderson, who is one of the snowboard greats with 21 total X-Games medals, as well as Anna Gasser, who continues to push the envelope."
"This course really brought all of the fun out for me. I really enjoyed the course and got my flow back. I was just loving it...I feel like I just almost stop thinking, which sounds kinda crazy, I just get into the zone, and if I can do that, I'm sweet"

Mia Brookes reported the course restored her flow, describing entering a zone where she almost stops thinking and can execute smoothly.
