Esurance ICER AIR, which features the only big air ski and snowboard stadium jump in the United States, drew 33,000 spectators over two days for a thrilling action sports, music and lifestyle event on a bluebird San Francisco weekend.
On Saturday, Olympic and X Games champions competed on a 110-foot high jump that extended from the top of AT&T Park’s scoreboard to second base. The jump was covered with over 200 tons of man-made snow that withstood unseasonably warm temperatures. The skiers and snowboarders wowed the crowds with gravity-defying aerial maneuvers against the backdrop of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco skyline.
In the snowboarding competition, last year’s champion Travis Rice retained his title, taking first with a near perfect double cork 10. Tim Humphreys finished second with a switch frontside 9, and Chas Guldemond took third with a backside 1080.
Jon Olsson claimed the big air ski title with his signature, crowd-pleasing double kangaroo flip. Simon Dumont slid into a close second with a huge cork 1080 and Sammy Carlson finished third with a switch 10.
