Lake Louise showed Billabong Flaunt It a great time this past weekend.  With not a cloud in the sky and warm temperatures, the Slopestyle course was flawless and the girls were stoked on the conditions.

Calgary’s Breanna Stangeland took home the top prize purse with a switch boardslide and a 50-50 180 out on the top two rails, linking up a switch backside 360 and topping off her run with a cab 720 on the final jump.  Terri Dreger and Steph Haines were close behind in second and third respectively.  Stangeland’s 720 also landed her the Dakine Best Trick Award.

The rail jam went down in the afternoon on a set of three features: a down rail, a flat box, and down flat down tube.  Progressive tricks were seen throughout the jam with 9-year old Molly Hignel as a standout who worked her way up to hit all 3 features.  A new award was rewarded to Molly as she proved herself to be the “Grom of the Day”.  Kira Lengkech won the rail jam with a switch boardslide 270 out on the down rail.  Lengkech was followed by Steph Haines and Elysha Piller in second and third.

Billabong Flaunt It’s 9th season got underway with a successful first stop this past weekend at Mount St Louis, Ontario. Despite a very snowy forecast, visibility was good and conditions were soft and snowy. Thirty (30) competitors battled for the podium spots, with the French Connection sweeping up the top spots.

Quebec’s Laurie Blouin dominated the contest winning both the Slopestyle and the Rail Jam. Blouin’s run consisted of a board slide on the downrail, to a backside 5 on the first jump, followed by a switch underflip, topped off with a boardslide to fakie and a switch 50/50 backside 180. Quebec’s Anne Frederique Grenier followed in second with Baily MacDonald in third. Blouin won the rail jam with a backside nose blunt on the down tube, Baily MacDonald coming in close behind with a front tail 270 on the flat tube capping off the podium with Anne Frederique Grenier’s back nose pretzel on the flat tube.

Other highlights of the day included 16 year old Baily MacDonald’s frontside 7, and the 3 youngest competitors of the day impressing the crowds by stomping the 35ft jump with style.
