QUOTES
Devin Logan
It was nice and sunny and the course ended up getting super soft for finals. It was nice to see the competition step it up with some progressive run and it was a great field of girls.

I am looking forward to AFP World Championships in a couple weeks and it would be awesome to take the slopestye title. Either way I am hoping to hold onto my first place overall ranking, I’ve had a great season and I am happy no matter what.
