U.S. Snowboard Team rider Maddie Mastro took the top spot in Thursday’s qualifiers the Woodward Copper Mountain halfpipe, followed by teammate and defending Olympic Gold Medalist Chloe Kim. Mastro earned her top score of 92.75 on her second qualifying run, which was highlighted by her signature double crippler, followed up with back-to-back 720s.

“I’ve put a lot of work in and a lot of reps – and a lot of years, actually – to fully have the double crippler in my bag and have confidence in that trick,” Mastro said in an interview with the Dew Tour. “I’m stoked that it’s all starting to pay off.”

Chloe Kim finished in second with a score of 91.25, also on her second qualifying run. Mastro and Kim both advance into Sunday’s halfpipe final among the group of eight women.

In the men’s field, U.S. Snowboard Team rider and three-time Olympic Gold medalist Shaun White was the top men’s qualifier of the day, clinching his spot in finals on a gripping second run in classic White fashion.
