Australian Holly Crawford placed first in today’s women’s semifinals and Markus Malin from Finland took the top semifinals spot for the men.

Holly put together a very solid run that included a frontside 5 stalefish, which the judges considered to be the highest and most stylish in the women’s halfpipe semifinals. Her top scoring run also included a method air, stalefish indy, frontside seven and a Cab 360. Meri Peltonen (FIN) and Sarah Conrad (CAN) took second and third place respectively. Ellery Hollingsworth (USA), who is the current leader of the Burton Global Open Series standings, took fourth place in the semifinals.

In the men’s semifinals, 41 men competed for 16 spots in the halfpipe finals. Markus Malin (FIN) took the top spot in the semifinals after his second run, which included a backside air, frontside 720 tailgrab, Cab 10, tailgrab to fakie and a Cab 900. Switzerland’s Markus Keller took a close second place in the semifinals with his first run, which included a massive frontside alley oop mute grab, frontside 720, Cab 720, frontside 900 and a backside 720. Norwegian rider Roger Kleivdal qualified for the finals in third place.

Burton European Open 2007

20-27 January 07

Its back at Laax, Switzerland again and drawing more than 500 riders to compete in halfpipe and slopestyle disciplines

Laax, Switzerland
Excellent snowsure resort with a good long season. The slopes are great for freestylers and freeriders alike, as well as suiting beginners. The resort can be slack at opening lifts and the off-piste gets tracked out within hours of a dump.
Freeriding: 80% - Trees & some good off-piste
Freestyle: 85% - 2 terrain parks & huge halfpipe
Pistes: 80% - Great condition & variety
