There's not a whole lot to say about Red Bull skier Henrik Windstedt's win at the Nissan Freeride World Tour event at Squaw Valley today except...HOLY $H!T. The video below pretty much speaks for itself, be we'll throw in these tidbits as well: The event was on the rocks (no pun intended) due to extreme avalanche danger and eventually moved off the intended Tram Face to Silverado at Squaw Valley. Nevertheless, Henrik threw down a significant run and head judge Eric Seymour had this to say about it: "Henrik showed the most progressive run of the day, throwing a giant backflip off the start straight into a big 360. He skied very fast and smooth all the way to his final air a 45 footer, which he landed perfectly. He managed to mix both new school freestyle and big mountain skiing."*Photo by D. Carlier
