Three of the six gold medals were awarded to Park City-based athletes.
Park City’s Rell Harwood and Alex Hall won the men’s and women’s knuckle huck competition.
Knuckle huck debuted for men’s snowboarding in 2019, with men’s skiing added in 2020 and women’s ski and snowboard debuting in 2024. In the loosely-structured contest, riders “huck” themselves over the lower knuckle of the big air jump, avoiding the kicker ramp.
Parkite Marin Hamill finished fifth in the Women’s Ski Knuckle Huck. Another Park City native, Colby Stevenson, placed just off the men’s podium in fourth.
Harwood was the second-highest scoring U.S. woman in the Ski Big Air competition, finishing fourth behind teammate Grace Henderson who took silver.
In the men’s competitions, Stevenson stood at the top of the podium for the Ski Street Style competition ahead of teammate Tucker FitzSimons.
Spokesperson for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Courney Harkins said the most exciting point of the weekend for Team USA was the sweep in the Men’s Ski SuperPipe.
“Nick Goepper, who is a three time Olympic medalist in slopestyle — the one where they go off jumps and rails — has made a switch over to half pipe, which is really cool and kind of unprecedented in the sport," she said. "He won his first X Games gold, and it was a really huge moment.”
Goepper’s teammates, Alex Ferria and Hunter Hess finished second and third.
California snowboarder Chloe Kim finished first in the Women’s Snowboard SuperPipe, defending her title to earn an eighth X Games gold. She’s now tied with Shaun White for the most superpipe gold medals in X Games history.
Park City skier Zoe Atkin, who competes for Great Britain, finished fourth in the Women’s Ski SuperPipe.
In the Men’s Ski Big Air competition, Parkite Troy Podmilsak also finished just off the podium in fourth.
