00:00about it is just the overall thickness of the snowpack

00:04is not where we really want it to be yet.

00:06Yeah, and we can see that in a couple of the,

00:09that there's some sharks in a couple of places

00:11and that riders need to be more precise about landings.

00:14So Kea is on course, making his way over

00:17to the main powder field over this like,

00:19really exposed traverse, you can see the rocks under,

00:23sending down some of the fluffy snow.

00:26Yeah, man.

00:28And approaching his first takeoff, yeah!

00:30Yeah, Kea, beautiful landing,

00:32beautiful composure in the air.

00:33Same air as Paul Sabito did with bib number one,

00:36just that Kea was sticking it,

00:38and now going full speed and very close to the rocks,

00:40taking a lot of risk here.

00:41When you're so close to the rocks,

00:42you're never too sure if you're gonna hit one there,

00:44but he gets exactly where he wants.

00:46Second air, he's on a roll right now.

00:50And approaching that blind takeoff

00:52of one of the shelves here,

00:55finding his way in, huge air!

00:57Wow, super clean run by Kea Kretien.

01:02Into the very steep section to the left and right.

01:05Gonna go for the same bottom air

01:06that Kasper contaminated,

01:08actually going a little lower,

01:10and putting that one to his feet as well.

01:13Four nice air, but looks like he's not done yet,

01:15he's coming up again the shelf,

01:16I'm very happy we have the drone,

01:18because otherwise we could not see him.

01:20Going really high up there to a last big jump

01:23with a three, putting it to his feet as well.

01:26Wow.

01:26What a banger at the end of the run.

01:28What a banger run.

01:30Also like, wow, it took some composure

01:32and real commitment to also stick that one.

01:34You could see that he was slightly off in the air,

01:36but such a great rider, oh my god, I can't believe it.

01:40Really showing what he has.

01:42Beautiful, now he's like out of the judging line already,

01:45so what do we think?

01:47I think it showed all his experience

01:49that he has with it, 18 years, you know?

01:51Sticking to his plan, his game plan,

01:54to his line from top to bottom.

01:56I don't think he did a single turn

01:57where he didn't want to do it.

01:59And he already knew he had a great run

02:01as he approached the bottom cliff,

02:02but he wanted it, he went all the way up

02:04and went for the three.

02:06You know, it would have been a good score

02:07even going straight down, but he went for it,

02:08took that extra risk, and I think

02:10the judges are gonna love that.

02:11Judges are gonna love that for sure.

02:13Yeah, look at him.

02:14Yeah.

02:16Wow.

02:17It took really some core strength

02:19to stomp that straight into that flat landing.

02:22What a rider.

02:24I'm so excited.

02:24I was like, that's such a beautiful run,

02:26I can't believe it, oh my god.

02:29Yeah, Kea.

02:30I know his dad, Flo is also watching now.

02:34Big props to him and the family.
