02:45 >> We all want to see a tramp face.
03:03 Just the idea of skiing the forbidden zone.
03:07 And I admire the optimistic outlook, but
03:10 I just think that the snow was really bad yesterday.
03:14 >> We have a report from the forerunner.
03:16 >> The first 300 meters were pretty good.
03:19 Once you get to areas where mid slope, where the snow has slid,
03:24 sloughed off, it's very firm underneath.

08:31 >> We have two runs, and you can count the best run.
08:36 So everyone is just charging the hell out of the mountain, and what is fun?
08:40 I had a blast skiing it.
08:42 On the top there, I did a 360, and I'm a big mountain rider.
08:46 I usually don't do tricks.
08:48 So today I had two big cliffs.
08:50 I skied fast, and then 360 on the top.
08:52 So I'm super stoked with my first run.

10:52 >> I must confess, I'm begging you, don't want to be lonely tonight.
11:07 I'm so confused when you're out of sight.
11:09 You're my baby, I'm your child.
11:11 [MUSIC]
11:21 >> I haven't really studied the points enough to know.
11:23 I was pretty far down.
11:24 But I think after today, I did fairly well.
11:27 And we'll see how the points work out after this.
11:31 Hopefully I'll be going to Verbier.
11:33 I like that face.
11:34 Even though I can't sleep for a week, it's a lot of fun.

17:41 >> My goal is to win this event and the next one, to be sure that I will win the overall tour.
17:46 It's super tight, super high level in skiing this year, you know, and
17:49 especially with this event, you know, when we have two runs, it's just, everybody can do well, you know.
17:55 And yeah, man, it's getting tough, this business.

20:37 >> This is cool, this is just cool for me, cuz normally you come up here and
20:41 there's 100 people on the tram and it just gets tracked instantly.
20:44 You're going down and there's people in the air around you, so
20:47 just to get a run without people harshening your vibe is just sweet.
20:51 [MUSIC]
21:01 [MUSIC]
21:11 >> Okay, I'm gonna keep your heel where it is, okay?
21:28 Don't move it.
21:29 >> Tight, tight.
21:30 >> [FOREIGN]
21:56 >> I think it's just mostly that I'm
21:57 comfortable on this mountain.
21:58 >> Woo!
21:59 >> It is my home, and I honestly have rarely skied this run.

23:56 >> And first place for today's Nissan Tram Face Squad Valley USA 2010,
24:13 give it up for Henrik Rundstedt.
24:16 [MUSIC]
24:21 >> And in second place for Hanson, Holland UK.
24:24 [MUSIC]
24:27 >> My plan before this season was to be in the lead by so much that no one can beat
24:31 me before a derby.
24:32 I would be feeling so much comfortable, but yeah, now I'm in the lead.
24:36 I was in the lead two years ago too, and I crashed in the final run.
24:40 Last year I crashed as well at the back, and I just have to bring out my best and
24:46 get myself down to the finish line without crashing.
24:49 And I think that will be enough to secure this overall title, I hope.
