This Dude can MOVE!!
It was a great day for Whistler on Sunday, as Davey Barr, a skier from Whistler, dashed into the lead and then went on to win the first World Cup Ski Cross that has been hosted in North America.
Go Davey!!
Barr has been skiing since he could walk and started out on Rainbow Mountain in Whistler when he was still a young tot.
"I was just happy to be in the final, that was my goal coming in. So when I came across the finish line first - I don't know if I can even put it in words."
Wild Freestyle, which has been a constant at ESPN X GAMES for years now, is comparable to motocross for skiers, with bumps, rollers, jumps and banked turns a part of the course. Some serious wipe-outs occur when poles and skis get caught up.
Be sure to have your feet up and your beers cold for the Moguls Event at Cypress Mountain next Saturday and the aerials event on Sunday!
