Like the Slopestyle course before, it’s been all the rage for the riders to lay into the setup over in Russia. Danny Davis, Torah Bright and Shaun White are amongst those who’ve criticised the pipe for being too narrow, too bumpy, too soft and even designed with skiers in mind.

It was clear that some of the men struggled with a worn halfpipe in the men’s final and it claimed plenty of victims throughout the day including Greg Bretz, Shaun White and Ayumu Hirano.

The pipe seemed to firm up as the evening drew on and the temperatures dropped and became just about usable come the final. Much of the hard work seemed to be undone by the time where the women got involved on Wednesday morning. The 10ºC temperatures leading to a slushy pipe.

It affected the quality of the riding and seemed to have more impact on the women than the men. Here’s hoping they can save it again in time for the final.
