00:00 Back to the start gate for Roslyn's Erin Sauvé.

00:03 She is fresh off a win in stop number one of the FWT finals

00:07 in Feverbrunn.

00:08 She's riding a wave of confidence.

00:09 She's looking for a little bit of redemption on this face

00:12 as well, as her first foray into it back in January

00:15 at the Verbier Pro didn't go exactly to plan.

00:17 So Erin Sauvé waving to all the folks back at Red Mountain

00:21 as she kicks things off on a title contending run.

00:25 Dropping in from start one there,

00:27 hopefully she's been able to scope some of her takeoffs

00:29 and landings on that hike up.

00:31 She's lining up her first feature here,

00:35 finding the right takeoff, stomping that one,

00:38 and really good board control.

00:40 Yeah, that was beautiful.

00:41 The way she executed that turn after landing

00:43 is definitely something that speaks to her technique

00:46 and how she can read a face.

00:49 Now that she's going to the next zone,

00:51 I think she's going to hit another pretty big feature,

00:56 lining that one up perfectly.

00:58 Going huge there and--

01:01 stomp landing.

01:03 Yes, Erin, that was dope.

01:05 Erin Sauvé showing that she has learned from the past lap

01:10 down the D-back, and she has put all the pieces together so far.

01:15 Still not done, though.

01:16 Erin lining up another feature underneath this long block

01:19 cliff.

01:20 We saw a lot of play on that one early on in the season

01:23 from Ski Women.

01:24 And Erin Sauvé clean with some chunky features in that run.

01:29 Yeah, that was huge.

01:31 You can't underestimate the steepness of the face

01:33 and then picking out those features.

01:35 And the way she executed it without any hesitation

01:37 is absolutely brilliant.

01:39 Yeah, that was a spectacular run there from Erin Sauvé.

01:42 So she knew coming into this that with a win--

01:45 and we've got the Yeti Cooler Jump there in the finish area.

01:49 Erin Sauvé finishing with a flourish.

01:52 Finishing with a cheeky little front flip to end it.

01:56 Love to see it.

01:57 All right, Siobhan, take us through this replay.

02:00 So the first feature that she hit, again, no hesitation.

02:03 Got in a little indy grab there, which was super epic.

02:08 Keep on going to the next feature.

02:10 Again, no hesitation.

02:12 You see the way she sets her turns above that cliff?

02:14 It's absolutely brilliant because she set herself up

02:17 in the right direction to land on the snowboard.

02:19 You have to consider that we only have two edges, right?

02:22 Like, one ultimately to land on, which makes

02:24 the whole game a lot harder.

02:26 And she did that perfectly well.

02:27 Laying the tail down, you could see the board flex a little bit.

02:30 The riders with these snow conditions

02:31 want to come in a little bit tail heavy

02:33 so they don't punch through the crust and get bounced.

02:35 See if we can hear the two ladies catching up.

02:38 All right, well, judges have had their say quickly.

02:40 89.33.

02:42 Erin Sauvé setting the bar once again for snowboard women

02:47 with an absolutely spectacular run.
