Freestylers Let It Fly Eighteen-year-old Nathan Moses, a 10-year veteran of the Sun Valley Freestyle Team, catches big air as he executes a perfect “cork 720” maneuver Friday in slopestyle competition at Dollar Mountain. More than 170 competitors faced off for four days in four different freestyle events in Sun Valley over the weekend, as halfpipe, slopestyle, mogul and dual-mogul competitors showed off their talents on both Dollar and Bald mountains. Moses took fifth place in the M1 Division on Friday. Freestyle Program Director Andy Ware said the competitions were a huge success. “Since lots of the kids competed in many of the formats, there were actually over 300 competing entries, making this the largest freestyle event held in Sun Valley during my 14 years of coaching experience with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.” Photo by Willy Cook
