00:00Here on the tour, such an easy, smooth, California rider.
00:05So fun to ski, so fun to watch.
00:08Yeah, I remember meeting them years ago in Spain
00:11and she was doubting herself, didn't believe in it,
00:13and I think the next event she came out and won.
00:17Yeah, Lily has a victory on the Freeride World Tour
00:20under her belt in the trophy,
00:22sorry, under their belt in the trophy case,
00:24and now looking to get it done here.
00:26We may see some of the North American riders
00:29thriving in these weird conditions.
00:30This is classic IFSA skiing,
00:3216 different kinds of snow from top to bottom,
00:35and they are underway now on the Wiltshire Loader.
00:37Heading that top air, making through no problem
00:40where the other girls got a little bit caught up.
00:44Lily making quick work of this top section,
00:46staying right centered over her skis.
00:50And huge air!
00:51Yes!
00:52They make it all the way over all those rocks.
00:55Lily now just trying to get back in control,
00:57taking a couple more steps as they are right on the edge,
01:02actually teetering on the edge between control and chaos.
01:06Now Lily Bradley making their way down into this section
01:09that has seen so much action in the ski women's field.
01:12I think Lily feels a little bit of freedom today.
01:14She's pretty low down on the cut,
01:16and I think this is a run for her to just show
01:18what they are capable of.
01:20Lining up that massive cliff, taking it with speed.
01:24Yes!
01:25Oh my goodness!
01:27Hold on to it through the debris.
01:29Wow, absolutely amazing run for Lily right now.
01:32You saw Nadine, you saw Justine, they went in pretty slow,
01:35and Lily just full gas, massive air.
01:40Yeah, they are one of the brightest sparks
01:42on the Freeride World Tour,
01:44and never afraid to get buck wild and send it for glory.
01:48Lily Bradley now coming into this lower section
01:52and going a little bit more to the rider's left
01:54where it's maybe slightly less wonky in the snow,
01:58but they're still finding,
01:59you can see the way the skis are moving on the snow,
02:01just getting pushed around.
02:05Yeah, Lily skiing quite quickly through this section,
02:09showing that they are a strong skier.
02:13Fast work coming in hot.
02:15Lily, full gas.
02:18We've seen her, she went to the moon in Spain,
02:20and here she just launched that cliff.
02:25They just launched it huge.
02:27That was, yeah, that was smooth.
02:29That was how you do it.
02:30That was 100% proper.
02:31Nadine kind of slowed down into it,
02:33and Lily just came in and made quick work of that.
02:36She's gonna be happy with that one.
02:40You're an icon.
02:42You're an icon.
02:43No, you are.
02:44It was you.
02:46I was about to say go on.
02:50All right, well, Hadley, let's take a look.
02:51Lily doing the up and over roll,
02:54and they clear the rocks.
02:55Just a little tail tap on the bushes, but that's okay.
02:58Totally, and you see, quick to make that adjustment,
03:01that readjust, a little bit of a wild ride,
03:04but still staying on their feet, making it through.
03:08Yeah, that first air is massive.
03:11And just check out how blind that is.
03:13I remember seeing Marcus Eder hit that thing
03:15for the first time from the top,
03:16and I thought he landed at the bottom of the Viltza loader.
03:18So for Lily to come in and trust that takeoff,
03:21absolutely insane.
03:22Line scored to the top,
03:24and this is that bottom air where you see,
03:26no hesitation, enormous stomping legs.
03:31Lily Bradley, what an exciting rider to watch today.
03:36Well, this is Freeride at its finest,
03:38and one of the things,
03:40a real highlight of that for Lily Bradley,
03:42the big air at the top and the bottom.
03:44The other women that have hit that big feature
03:46at the bottom didn't have anywhere near
03:49as big of an air at the top.
03:51It's not decent.
03:57All right, well.
04:03Love hearing the catch-up chat
04:05from the riders at the bottom,
04:06as Lily coming in and saying to Nadine,
04:10you're an icon, Nadine just firing straight back.
04:12No, you are.
04:21So the judges have their work cut out for them now.
04:23They're balancing.
04:24I was watching from the top, and I was like, holy shit.
04:27That was sick.
04:31Balancing what they saw against the criteria.
04:34There is the score of Nadine Volland.
04:36Lily goes into a 90.67.
04:39They are taking on the hot seat.
