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)
