big air

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - MTV unveiled the lineup for its 9th annual SnowGlobe Music Festival taking place in South Lake Tahoe December 29-31, 2019.

Skrillex, Fisher, Gigantic NGHTMRE, Griz, E-40, Louis the Child, Tchami x Malaa, Vince Staples, A-Trak, Earthgang and more set to take the stage at New Year’s celebration.

With a forecast of gusty winds, the Olympic organizers moved the Women's Snowboard Big Air medal runs up one day, and a South Lake Tahoe resident is walking away with a medal in the first ever Big Air event at the Olympics.

Jamie Anderson added to her medal count, wining a silver medal in Big Air with jumps that scored 90.00 and 87.25. Her third jump did not score.

Austria's Anna Gasser, with a pair of extremely progressive tricks, won the gold in women's snowboard big air with a 89.00 and 96.00. Her first jump did not score.

Update Saturday: Looks like weather has caused a delay in Jamie's Slopestyle. Schedule shows it rescheduled for 10:00 a.m. Monday in PyeongChang - 5:00 p.m. Sunday on the west coast. Sunday prime time coverage starts at 4:00 p.m.

Opening ceremonies were held for the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea on Friday, and now the athletes hit a full schedule of events through February 25.

Just one more week of ski and snowboard competition until the 2018 U.S. Olympic teams are closer to being finalized. Focus will be south of Tahoe this week for the U.S. Grand Prix Series at Mammoth Mountain.

The results will help determine who the U.S. sends to next month's Winter Olympics in these disciplines.

Reigning Olympic gold medalist Jamie Anderson has always had success at Dew Tour events, and her Saturday second-place finish in the women’s slopestyle snowboarding final in Breckenridge, Colorado, got her something much more than another medal.

As the top American woman on the podium, Anderson qualified for her second Olympic Winter Games and earned the chance to defend her title in PyeongChang in February. She will also be able to add a medal in another event as all slopestyle riders will also compete in big air as it makes its Olympic debut.
