Aspen, Colorado hosts X Games, showcases winter skills

Aspen, Colorado, had the pleasure of hosting this year’s X Games from Jan. 21-23. The X Games consisted of three days packed with adrenaline-pumping competition, featuring world-class action sports athletes competing in different events to test their speed, skill and performance.

In Aspen, the athletes were tested in snowboarding and skiing events. The first day was definitely one for the girls, starting off with three major ski and snowboard events.

The first event to kick off the intensive snow games was Jeep women’s snowboard slopestyle. Twenty-year-old Zoi Sadowski-Synnott came in first.

The following event, women’s ski big air, gave athletes five runs to get the highest amount of points possible and added the competitors’ two highest scores to decide the winner.
