Eric Willet Again

willet For the 2nd time in as many years local Rocky Mountain Series rider Eric Willet is on the podium at the New Zealand Open.

Bluebird skies graced Cardrona Alpine Resort once again for men’s and women’s slopestyle semifinal and final competitions today. Part of the Burton Global Open Series and the Swatch Ticket To Ride World Snowboard Tour, the seventh annual New Zealand Open showcased some of the world’s best riders as they took to Cardrona’s 800m long slopestyle course, which featured up and downrails, boxes, three kickers and a unique upstair feature to quarterpipe.

An international field of the worlds best riders from nine countries were battling it out for a piece of the $24,000 slopestyle prize purse and the top spots worth $6,000 each.

Eric stuck back-to-back 900s and had smooth style on the rails, giving him an edge and riding away with third. French Canadian Sebastien Toutant took the top spot by wowing the judges with his signature “Toutsie Roll,” a backside doublecork 1080 melon. Torstein Horgmo (NOR) threw down in his third and final run with back to back 1080's moving him up in the rankings to finish second.
