The Wendy’s Invitational Female Superpipe Final attracted a crowd of almost 14,000. This huge, and lucky audience watched the lights dance as some of the best riding in women’s snowboarding was put on display. While all six of the riders should fly home chin up and chest out, nobody could match the new Pipe Queen of Snowbasin, Elena Hight.

With electricity in the air and the record breaking crowd cheering her on she balled up and out spun the pack with a flawless first run containing back-to-back 720s that secured her the top spot.

But while Elena won the day, the crowd felt Kaitlyn Farrington deserved a little more than her 2nd place score earning an 88.25. Kaitlyn rode with authority, punishing her board with heavy tweaks and a ridiculous array of spins.

The Farrington tornado began with some 540s, one with crazy cork, 720s and even a freaking cab 900. The full run and big spins got the crowd roaring, but roars quickly turned to boos when her score was announced. Either way, Kaitlyn left Snowbasin with both a smile on her face and a 2nd place trophy in her backpack.
