We have the winning runs here from the 3rd leg of the Freeride World Tour in Squaw Valley, USA. Sadly they didn't ride The Tram Face slope, but it's still pretty inspiring stuff.
For the second year in a row the athletes were unable to use the Tram Face and instead the competition was held on Silverado.
It isn't as steep or challenging but it still provided some pretty good action.
See this related story on PlanetSKI with details of the day and the winners of each category.
Check out the selection of videos we have of the event.
The 2010 Action Highlights
Shannan Yates (USA) - Winning Line
Shannan came directly from winning the North Face Snowboard Masters in Kirkwood, and had a fast and solid run with several clean jumps. "Impressive!" says Xavier Jordan, Head Judge Snowboard
Henrik Windstedt (Swe) - Winning Line.
Henrik showed the most progressive run of the day, throwing a giant backflip off the start straight into a big 360° (full rotation).
He skied very fast and smooth all the way to his final air a 45 footer (1.5m) which he landed perfectly.
"He managed to mix both new school freestyle and big mountain skiing" said Eric Seymour, Head Judge Ski.
