Thursdays Lake Louise Big Mountain Challenge qualifiers were action packed from start to finish. All the carnage and excitement of a freeskiing comp qualifier were present, but the lack of injuries was the icing on the cake. First place on the men’s side went to
Ryan Bougie and Lindsay Forbes took first on the ladies side. Read more for a full recap of the day.

3 weeks of high pressure over the Canadian Rockies has produced a bomber snow pack at Lake Louise, making day ones conditions fast and technical. Although high pressure tends to keep the snow to a minimum there was no shortage of sunshine and warm temperatures that help a comp run smoothly and bring out the spectators.
ER7 was the venue for the qualifier and the competitors did not disappoint throwing down some impressive lines and large airs. The ladies kicked off the day’s action with smooth skiing and fluid lines in difficult conditions. The men’s field started shortly after and ran quickly with 45 competitors to get through. Talent was scattered throughout the field keeping the action steady.
Dominic Melanson skied fast and smooth through the top double, slayed the rest of the course, and went big at the bottom to take 4th place. Chris Ruebens bucked up to a nut clenching rockslide and mix a nice 360 into the bottom to claim third. Tim Haggerty skied an aggressive and impressive line to leave him in second spot. Top qualifier of the day was whistlerite Ryan Bougie who found the most creative and, arguably, gnarliest line of the day and threw in an impressive spin at the bottom to solidify his lead.
Other highlights of the day included an unknown competitor who slayed the whole venue only to come up just short on a huge back flip off the bottom air. The day did not come without its share of scary crashes but fortunately there were no serious injuries. Friday’s semi finals are set to be held on ER3 but the finals venue is still shrouded in mystery. Wherever it ends up being we’re sure it will be on like Donkey Kong.
