Kelly Clark vinder US Grand Prix Halfpipe.

Kelly Clark og Louie Vito vandt første pladserne til US Grand Prix Halfpipe på Copper Mountain. Det er et stykke tid siden man sidst har hørt nyt om Kelly, men hun besejrede snevejret og satte top scores i begge runs.
Den eneste i finalen, som ikke var amerikaner, var japanske Suko Yamaoka, som tog anden pladsen. Hannah Teter kom på tredje.

"It’s really encouraging. I didn’t know how my approach was going to go today. My focus has really been on the fundamentals these last few months and I’m really excited to have done so well just focusing on the basics. I know once I get more into the technical aspects, it will be a really big strength to me." – siger Kelly Clark efter konkurrencen.

Louis Vito, Steve Fisher, og Antti Autti vandt mændendes konkurrence.
