X Games Aspen 2026 Driven By Jeep – Day Two Results
Athletes stack up more medals and exciting nbds amidst snowy weather
X Games Aspen 2026 Day Two showcased the top action sports athletes in five world-class competitions: Jeep Men’s Ski Slopestyle Final, Stake Women’s Snowboard Big Air Final, Stake Men’s Snowboard Big Air Final, Men’s Ski Knuckle Huck Final and Monster Energy Men’s Snowboard Superpipe Final.
Jeep Men’s ski Slopestyle
Stacked field of athletes; Luca harrington nabs his second medal of the weekend
After morning weather delays, the first competition got underway with a stacked field of X Games medalists and Olympians. Riders were judged by creativity and line choice, though the fresh snow storm created speed challenges. Due to delays, the format was adjusted from the best of three runs to best of two.
Fresh off a silver medal in Knuckle Huck the night before, 21-year-old Luca Harrington (NZL) collected his second consecutive X Games Ski Slopestyle gold medal. He now boasts four medals out of four X Games starts in two X Games appearances (with a pair of silvers in Big Air and a pair of golds in Slopestyle).
Harrington was the only athlete to land a triple cork (performing it twice) launching him from fourth place into the top spot with just one rider left to drop. Six-time X Games medalist Colby Stevenson (Park City, Utah), who high-fived fans at the base after his runs, finished second, while 12-time X Games medalist Alex Hall (Park City, Utah) rounded out the podium in third.
“It’s absolutely incredible. I mean, this is one of the biggest events of the year against some of the best athletes in the world. So to be standing on the top, it means everything to me and I’m so grateful for today.”
-Luca Harrington
Run 2 / Full Run for a score of 94.33: Wallie up transfer over to frontside switch-up pretzel 270, switch left 270 on pretzel 450, right side 450 continuing 270, right side triple cork 1440 on the shark fin, left side double cork 1260 Japan, finishing with switch right triple cork 1440 grabbing safety.
Stake women’s Snowboard Big Air
Cocomo Murase delivers history-making performance to win gold
Today’s final was a repeat podium of yesterday’s Slopestyle podium, but this time in reverse order. Five-time X Games gold medalist Cocomo Murase (JPN) delivered a history-making performance, stomping the first backside 1620 triple cork (4.5 full rotations) ever landed by a woman in competition – a powerful statement that the ceiling for progression in women’s snowboarding has yet to be reached. Visibly emotional after the landing, Murase was met by a roaring crowd as she earned a near-perfect score of 96.66, celebrating through tears of joy – an uncharacteristic but unforgettable moment for the typically reserved rider.
Six-time X Games gold medalist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott (NZL) nearly rode away with gold after successfully stomping two massive backside triple cork 1440s (three inversions, four full rotations) to earn a score of 93.33. She finished with silver, her second of the weekend following yesterday’s Snowboard Slopestyle final. Mia Brooks (GBR), who claimed Slopestyle gold the day prior, completed the podium with a bronze medal performance – her first Big Air medal and 13th overall X Games medal.
“Three years ago I couldn’t put it down so this time, I’m just really stoked to pull it off.”

Winning Big Air Trick: Backside triple cork 1440
Stake Men’s big air
Hiroto ogiwara secures back-to-back big air gold
Dedicated fans held their ground for the second consecutive Big Air final, this time spotlighting the men. Defending gold medalist Hiroto Ogiwara (JPN) once again executed a backside 2340 melon to score a 93.66 and secure back-to-back Big Air gold medals – the same historic trick that earned him gold at X Games Aspen 2025. The 6.5-rotation maneuver remains unmatched, with Ogiwara still the only snowboarder to land a 2340 in competition.
Rocco Jamieson (NZL) took silver after stomping a 2160 nose grab, while Kira Kimura (JPN) rounded out the podium with a switch backside 1980 Indy to claim bronze.
“Maybe I think it’s a bit easier than last year. Next year, I’m definitely hitting a backside 2520.”

Trick: Backside 2340 melon
Men’s ski knuckle huck
Alex hall becomes first skier to win three knuckle huck titles
The Knuckle Huck is a crowd-pleasing, fast paced 20-minute jam based on overall impression. The “knuckle” is the curved rollover section of a big air jump’s landing. Skiers focus on emphasizing style, creativity, and technical skill executing tricks off the knuckle. Tonight, the men put on a show with two of three top spots repeated from the Slopestyle final earlier today.
Alex Hall (Park City, Utah) earned his third gold medal in Knuckle Huck and his 13th overall medal after clinching the win, making him the first skier to win the event three times. Colby Stevenson (Park City, Utah) who earned his second silver of the day, and Tormod Frostad (NOR) finished in third.
Winning Tricks judged on overall impression:
Run 1: Switch right tail butter rodeo safety
Run 2: Grabbing nose well before butter left 900 nose grab
Monster Energy Men’s Snowboard Superpipe
Scotty james lands never before seen trick to seal his fifth consecutive victory
Heading into one of the most anticipated events at X Games Aspen, the big question was how many triple corks would be thrown down in the final of the night. All eyes were on Scotty James (AUS), and he delivered – claiming his eighth X Games gold medal and 11th overall SuperPipe medal.
With the win, James now ties Shaun White and Chloe Kim for the most X Games gold medals in skiing or snowboarding, across both men and women. He cemented his fifth consecutive X Games SuperPipe victory by landing a never-before-seen switch backside 1440 to backside 1440 combination, sealing his place in X Games history once again.
Silver medalist Haku Shimasaki (JPN) delivered a solid, highly technical run highlighted by a frontside triple cork 1440 truckdriver. Schuichiro Shigeno (JPN) rounded out the podium with a bronze medal finish.
Scotty James winning third run earning a score of 95.00: Cab double cork 1440 melon, frontside double cork 1260 stalefish, backside double cork 1080 stalefish, switch backside double cork 1440 Indy, backside double cork 1440 Japan (first ever back-to-back backside 14s).
“All my competitors that I ride against, every year, they get better. When I look at the greats that have come before me, not just in halfpipe, but like Mark McMorris, for example, doing the first triple, Iouri Podladtchikov doing the first switch back 14, Shaun (White) doing the first back 12. I really felt like I wanted to do something for myself and for halfpipe and push backside riding as much as I can. I wanted to come out and do the first ever back-to-back backside 14s.”
-Scotty James
