Tahoe-Reno athletes on podium in slopestyle

By USSA

OSLO, Norway – Chas Guldemond of Reno won men’s slopestyle finals and the overall Ticket To Ride World Champion title on Sunday. Guldemond’s run was smooth and had a huge backside 1080 to an even bugger cab 1260.

Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe took second place for the women, while Canadian Spencer O’Brien took the top spot.

Guldemond’s final run gave him the win with an 87.9 and it was a nail biter that put Quebec’s Sebastien Toutant in second place with a final score of 86.8.

Eric Beauchemin of Lake Winola, Pa., came in fourth place and Tyler Flanagan of Mammoth Lakes ended up in seventh.

In women’s competition, Jordie Karlinski of Snowmass Village, Colo., came in seventh and Ty Walker of Stowe, Vt., was ninth.

The weather improved from Saturday’s pipe finals, but temperatures dropped making the course slick.
