Laax yet again delivered the perfect set up as we headed into the men and women’s slopestyle semi-finals. 31 women got reduced down to 8 for tomorrows slopestyle finals. Tess Coady from Australia impressed the judges the most, who rewarded her a best score of 79.5. Anna Gasser has seemingly broken her Laax curse and came second and Cool Wakushima qualified in third place. The final will see 8 riders take part and interestingly the riders come from 8 different countries too.
