Women's Slopestyle went down today under beautiful partly sunny skies at Butttermilk as Winter X Games 14 kicked off. Red Bull veteran Grete Eliassen, who is also a veteran of last year's slope podium, brought down three solid runs all of which included as nasty 900 on the big bottom jump and slide easily into the bronze medal spot just behind Keri Herman. Way out in front of the field with three 90-plus point runs was Red Bull Ski Team newcomer Kaya Turski. Kaya brought the heat on her last run with a 270 disaster, 450-off the canon, switch 900, 540 and switch 720 off the big bottom booter to give her a score of 96.66 and an 11-point lead on the competition. All in all, not a bad afternoon as the Red Bull Ski Team nabs two of the first three medals award at WX14. Check out the full gallery action!

Red Bull Skiing Welcomes Kaya Turski to the Team!

Red Bull Skiing is excited and proud to welcome Kaya Turski to our ski team. With the paint on her helmet only one week fresh, Kaya is already killing the competition (see above). The 21-year-old Canadian has only been on skis an astonishing 5-years, two of which were plagued with injury, but Kaya's penchant for rails and big air began earlier on the unforgiving battle-field of inline-skating. She stumbled upon skiing almost on accident, and boy are we glad she did. Coincidentally, Kaya has a nice profile in the February issue of Powder Magazine on news stands now. Pick one up and check out page 96. In the article, Mike Douglas is quoted as saying, "Any comp she doesn't fall in, she'll win." Well said, Godfather.

Jon is still on the fence on whether or not he will release this one to the masses at X Games Big Air on Friday (between 7-11pm EST on ESPN). From Jon:The Tornado.I actually thought of that name a year ago when I was first working on this trick in my head, at that point I thought I had it, so I set up a kicker in Trysil to try it out, but after a few days of visualization I realized that I wasn't ready, I couldn't feel it the way I needed to!Then this summer as I started to give ski racing more and more of my focus I thought to myself that I guess my days with doing new tricks are over, that I would have to work on the ones I had. Then during the city Big Airs this fall I started to feel really good in the air and the thought of the trick came back into my head.

On Sunday, Brian, Thacher and I gathered all the blankets, fluffed all the pillows, collected our various stuffed animals (Treadwell, Theodore, Seymour, Andrew and Garcia), busted out the laptop, and settled in for a screening of the not-so-popular, 1997 film ?Chasing Amy.? Legs may have rubbed against each other (boxers only, obviously), we might have rolled [...]
