Marino Wins Quebec Big Air, Corning Wins World Cup Title

Julia Marino (Westport, Conn.) won her second career FIS Snowboard World Cup big air Saturday night at the Jamboree Festival in Quebec City.

World Cup big air titles were awarded to Chris Corning (Silverthorne, Colo.) and Austria’s Anna Gasser, who both sat out the final competition of a long season. Corning, who also won the World Cup slopestyle title, claimed the overall World Cup title for the 2017-18 season.

In front of an huge crowd which had gathered at L’Îlot Fleurie to cheer for the top six female and best 10 male qualifiers, Marino earned her career's third World Cup victory with a score of 168.50. Canada’s Laurie Blouin was second and Loreanne Smans of Belgium snatched her first World Cup podium in third. In addition to her two World Cup big air victories, Marino also won a World Cup slopestyle earlier this season. Marino finished third in the World Cup big air standings, and seventh in the overall World Cup standings.

“It's really cool to see how many people came to watch us and support us,” Marino said. “It's been real fun to dropping in to all of this big party. It was a smaller field of girls but it's still awesome to come out here and put down some runs and have a good time.”

In the men's event, Canada’s Max Parrot secured his career's sixth World Cup victory with an almost perfect 195.25. Switzerland's Jonas Boesiger was second and Canada’s Antoine Truchon, the 2012 Quebec winner, rounded out the podium in third.

In the women's standings, it was Miyabi Onitsuka (JPN) claiming the Snowboard overall World Cup title.
