On Christmas day in 1965, Sherman Poppen and his daughters were outside sledding when he noticed his daughter Wendy sliding down the hill on the sled, standing up. He quickly ran back to the garage, fastened two old kid’s skis together and let Wendy try it out. She loved it. Sherman dubbed his creation The Snurfer. Soon all the neighborhood kids wanted one. The Snurfer gained in popularity and was the first marketed snowboard selling upwards of a million units. What Sherman originally designed as a toy for a girl, is now a billion dollar sport dominated by men. Wendy Poppen wasn’t just the fi rst woman’s snowboarder, she was THE first snowboarder.

The women kicked off the event bright and early at 9 am. There were 6 women in today’s final, but it really was just a battle between two, Spencer O’Brien and Enni Rukajärvi. Enni was in the lead all morning with her run that consisted of an amazing backside 540 indy, to a cab 5. But right at the very end, during the final run of the contest, Spencer O’Brien put down her run of a switch backside 540 to a frontside rodeo 720. It was clearly the winning run, and she took home the win and the Dew cup. I don’t know what it is about the women’s events this weekend, but they sure loved to drag it out until the very last run.

Gigi Rüf rides like it’s his birthright. Bonks galore, open throttle slashes, shifty backside 3s, stalefishes and even a switch backside 7 marked the memorable repertoire of Rüf leaving little doubt as to why he deserved second.
