Simon Dumont beat out three of Scandinavia’s freeskiing finest — Jon Olsson, Jacob Wester and PK Hunder — to take home the gold in the Winter X Games big air. The head- to -head format was simple with the winner of the first round competing against the winner of the second. Text message voting determined who would move on and in the end it was Simon Dumont, who clearly claimed the backing of the massive crowd and viewers at home.

In the first round Jon Olsson beat out fellow Swede Jacob Wester. Simon Dumont dropped a double front flip and a misty 1080 to PK Hunder’s double cork 1260 and switch double cork 1260, and in the end it was Dumont who moved on by a large margin.

In the finals, Jon Olsson stuck with his switch double cork 1080s and Simon continued to impress the crowd with his double extended front flip and misty 1080 combo. Simon claimed the gold in front of the largest skiing big air crowd that X has seen.
