00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Canadian rider riding out of Rosslyn, BC,
00:04 Red Mountain local, Aaron Sauvé.
00:07 (upbeat music)
00:09 - Aaron Sauvé now on course here,
00:15 the Canadian rider, very first run
00:17 on the Freeride World Tour.
00:18 And now traversing out over the La Bamba double.
00:21 We didn't see a ton of action out here before.
00:24 So definitely a wise choice, I think.
00:27 - Maybe following our four runners track through here.
00:30 - Yeah, you can see the slough pouring off that,
00:33 pointing it into the fall line.
00:34 Aaron kind of getting bumped to switch there for a second.
00:37 - Yeah, unfortunate to have a bit of a sit down there,
00:41 but she is still on the tools,
00:44 catching some air, working her way through the face.
00:47 - Aaron airing over from the top one,
00:50 over the second step of that double.
00:52 So a strong recovery move here.
00:56 - We had a quick word from her coach earlier
00:59 that she had to be really convinced
01:02 to get into the Freeride game.
01:04 - Aaron Sauvé now, the Canadian rider is on the face.
01:10 - I'm excited to see what she comes up with here.
01:14 Looks like she's coming into a bit of a double
01:19 right off the top, taking the same air as Tiffany
01:22 and stomping it.
01:24 (crowd cheering)
01:26 Let's see what she has here down at the bottom.
01:29 - I think that shows some real savvy there
01:32 from Aaron Sauvé popping right off the nose of that one.
01:35 So savvy riding from Sauvé, savvy Sauvé,
01:42 wrapping up her run here as she finishes out.
01:44 Strong showing for the Canadian rider.
01:47 Aaron Sauvé, if she's first, she's going to finals.
01:52 If she's second or less, it's still a maybe.
01:55 There's no no's for Aaron Sauvé.
01:57 So it all depends on what she does
01:59 and what the other riders do.
02:01 As Aaron pinned in the fall line right out of the gate.
02:04 And we've seen a bunch of riders
02:05 taking advantage of this section.
02:07 Aaron Sauvé popping off that feature into the powder
02:10 and a nice heel side slash there
02:13 as Aaron Sauvé making her way across the venue.
02:16 - That was a big air, Derek,
02:17 and she's heading into this zone,
02:18 getting another big boost off of that.
02:22 (upbeat music)
02:24 - Another big air.
02:35 - Popping off now, heel side with a bunch of speed,
02:38 Aaron Sauvé.
02:39 Popping off and adding another extra credit feature
02:51 at the bottom.
02:52 It's been really cool to watch Aaron's evolution
02:55 as a WorldTour rider.
02:56 You know, she was really nervous,
02:58 really intimidated by the visual inspection in Verbier.
03:00 And every event has just gotten stronger
03:02 and stronger and stronger.
03:03 So Aaron is on course now.
03:10 - Dropping in there from start two.
03:12 This is Aaron's first time on the Fibonacci face.
03:20 Now Aaron Sauvé, you can see the slough
03:22 just pouring off the Hausser Cliff
03:24 as she's gonna be popping heel side
03:26 and flying off that and stomping.
03:28 Aaron Sauvé with a huge statement there,
03:31 a massive air for the Canadian rider
03:34 and what a great way to kick that run off.
03:36 - Got a little bit of downtime
03:43 before you hop into your next feature.
03:45 She's lining this one up, catching the grab there.
03:49 - Yeah, and Aaron is stoked.
03:51 Big clap there as she approached the finish line.
03:54 That was a huge run from Aaron Sauvé.
03:58 So Aaron Sauvé waving to all the folks back at Red Mountain
04:06 as she kicks things off on a title contending run.
04:10 - She's lining up her first feature here,
04:13 finding the right takeoff, stomping that one
04:16 and really good board control.
04:19 (upbeat music)
04:21 - Now that she's going into the next zone,
04:23 I think she's gonna hit another pretty big feature,
04:27 lining that one up perfectly.
04:29 Going huge there and four point stomp landing.
04:34 Yes, Aaron, that was dope.
04:36 - Still not done though, Aaron lining up another feature
04:42 underneath this long block cliff.
04:44 We saw a lot of play on that one early on in the season
04:47 from Ski Women.
04:48 - Yeah, that was a spectacular run there from Aaron Sauvé.
04:51 So she knew coming into this that with a win
04:54 and we've got the Yeti cooler jump there in the finish area.
04:58 Aaron Sauvé finishing with a flourish.
05:01 (upbeat music)
05:02 - Huge implications there as the Canadian Aaron Sauvé
05:06 becomes world champion.
05:08 (upbeat music)
05:11 (upbeat music)
05:14 (electronic music)
05:17 (whooshing)
