Steamboat delivered high-scoring finals across snowboard and freeski. Hiroto Ogiwara’s 1980 tailgrab sealed the men’s snowboard win, while Miyabi Onitsuka won and clinched the women’s Big Air Crystal Globe. In freeski, Troy Podmilsak posted back-to-back victories and Naomi Urness earned her first World Cup win. Kateryna Kotsar’s second place marked Ukraine’s first FIS Freeski World Cup podium.
On the snowboard men’s side, Su Yiming secured the Crystal Globe despite skipping Steamboat after wins at Secret Garden and Beijing. In freeski, Podmilsak and Luca Harrington are now tied atop the men’s Big Air standings, and Urness leads the women’s standings.
