QUOTES
Gus Kenworthy
I knew that I wanted to take this award home again this year and I made it a goal of mine from the start of the season. It’s always satisfying to achieve your goals. It’s been a fun season full of competitions and I have been on the road a ton so I am looking forward to being home a bit and spending some time with my family and friends.

This gets me excited for Sochi in 2014 and it will be great to see what the next year and a half brings my way.

Devin Logan
Sometimes it’s tricky to compete in slopestyle and halfpipe, it can get pretty tiring, but I had an incredible season and this award really brings it home for me. It was my best season so far and I am looking forward to continuing my success next year.

I am stoked that both of my disciplines are in the Olympics and I’m hopeful that I’ll have a shot to get in. It’s a really cool time to be in freeskiing and I am lucky to be here.
