The Nine Queens Big Air event took place at Livigno, Italy from March 26-30. Big names such as Jenny Jones, Spencer O’brian, Katie Summerhayes and Grete Eliassen came down for almost a week of hard shedding and fun.
Germany’s Lisa Zimmermann was crowned the freeski queen as she pulled a 900 tail grab and her first switch 1080 mute.
Elena Könz of Switzerland became the first snowboarding queen, landing a backside 540 mute and smooth frontside 720 melon. Jenny Jones goes for bronze again with a frontside 900.
A special kudos goes to French skier Anais Caradeux, who was the only girl who went for the huge transfer from the kicker in the middle of the pipe to the landing of the left jump.
