00:00 Back to the start gate for Roslyn's Erin Sauvé.
00:03 She is fresh off a win in stop number one of the FWT finals
00:07 in Feverbrunn.
00:08 She's riding a wave of confidence.
00:09 She's looking for a little bit of redemption on this face
00:12 as well, as her first foray into it back in January
00:15 at the Verbier Pro didn't go exactly to plan.
00:17 So Erin Sauvé waving to all the folks back at Red Mountain
00:21 as she kicks things off on a title contending run.
00:25 Dropping in from start one there,
00:27 hopefully she's been able to scope some of her takeoffs
00:29 and landings on that hike up.
00:31 She's lining up her first feature here,
00:35 finding the right takeoff, stomping that one,
00:38 and really good board control.
00:40 Yeah, that was beautiful.
00:41 The way she executed that turn after landing
00:43 is definitely something that speaks to her technique
00:46 and how she can read a face.
00:49 Now that she's going to the next zone,
00:51 I think she's going to hit another pretty big feature,
00:56 lining that one up perfectly.
00:58 Going huge there and--
01:01 stomp landing.
01:03 Yes, Erin, that was dope.
01:05 Erin Sauvé showing that she has learned from the past lap
01:10 down the D-back, and she has put all the pieces together so far.
01:15 Still not done, though.
01:16 Erin lining up another feature underneath this long block
01:19 cliff.
01:20 We saw a lot of play on that one early on in the season
01:23 from Ski Women.
01:24 And Erin Sauvé clean with some chunky features in that run.
01:29 Yeah, that was huge.
01:31 You can't underestimate the steepness of the face
01:33 and then picking out those features.
01:35 And the way she executed it without any hesitation
01:37 is absolutely brilliant.
01:39 Yeah, that was a spectacular run there from Erin Sauvé.
01:42 So she knew coming into this that with a win--
01:45 and we've got the Yeti Cooler Jump there in the finish area.
01:49 Erin Sauvé finishing with a flourish.
01:52 Finishing with a cheeky little front flip to end it.
01:56 Love to see it.
01:57 All right, Siobhan, take us through this replay.
02:00 So the first feature that she hit, again, no hesitation.
02:03 Got in a little indy grab there, which was super epic.
02:08 Keep on going to the next feature.
02:10 Again, no hesitation.
02:12 You see the way she sets her turns above that cliff?
02:14 It's absolutely brilliant because she set herself up
02:17 in the right direction to land on the snowboard.
02:19 You have to consider that we only have two edges, right?
02:22 Like, one ultimately to land on, which makes
02:24 the whole game a lot harder.
02:26 And she did that perfectly well.
02:27 Laying the tail down, you could see the board flex a little bit.
02:30 The riders with these snow conditions
02:31 want to come in a little bit tail heavy
02:33 so they don't punch through the crust and get bounced.
02:35 See if we can hear the two ladies catching up.
02:38 All right, well, judges have had their say quickly.
02:40 89.33.
02:42 Erin Sauvé setting the bar once again for snowboard women
02:47 with an absolutely spectacular run.
