Zoi Sadowski-Synnott has won the FIS Snowboard Slopestyle in Aspen her third slopestyle World Cup title of her career and first since she has made her comeback from an ankle injury in 2024.


The 23-year-old was thrilled to be rewarded for the hard work she had put in of late.

“I definitely got a bit of confidence coming off LAAX two weeks ago and I worked so hard to get back to this level and be competing with the rest of the girls because they are pushing it so hard, I am so happy to be back.”


As the top qualifier for the finals, Sadowski-Synnott earned the advantage of dropping last into each of the two finals runs.


She put down a solid first run that had her sitting in the top spot, but with a couple of bobbles on the rails, and some of the top riders on the start list today, there was no guarantee it would hold.


Kokomo Murase of Japan put down a strong second run, which bumped Sadowski-Synnott off the top spot, but as the last athlete to drop Sadowski-Synnott had the deciding run. She managed the pressure without a problem and put down her winning run, tidying up the rail section and then lacing her back-to-back double corked 1080’s on the last two jumps.


“I watched her [Kokomo’s] last run and knew it was going to knock my first run score so I knew that I needed to clean up that rail section and I am stoked how it came out, stepping it up from X Games last week.” said Sadowski-Synnott.


The New Zealander won by a significant margin as the only woman to score in the 80’s with an 87.80. Murase finished in second place with Great Britain’s Mia Brookes rounding out the star-studded podium in third.


In the men's snowboard slopestyle World Cup finals Kiwi’s Dane Menzies and Rocco Jamieson competed with. Menzies scoring a career best result, finishing in fourth place and putting down a frontside 1800 for his first time in a slopestyle run. Jamieson finished 12th.
