The third stage of the Freeride World Tour was Monday on Silverado at Squaw Valley USA. With its playful terrain, the riders put up a show for the hundreds of cheering locals, pushing the limits with a best of two run format.

Local Squaw Valley skier and Freeride World Tour wild card Jaclyn Paaso was without a doubt the biggest crowd pleaser. She took a massive cliff jump at the bottom of the face, faster and higher than most of the men, challenging them for the second heat.

Three out of the four winners today (Windstedt, de Le Rue, Paaso) have scored enough points to climb to the top of the overall Freeride World Tour Ranking 2010, before the final stage Nissan Xtreme by Swatch in Verbier, March 20.
