Devin Logan
I'm skiing great - it's great to get back into it. I'm feeling good for another year. We've got a really good pool of competitors today. The pipe is awesome, it's fast and I like it.
Brita Sigourney
I had a bit of a tough first run, all these girls are throwing down high level tricks. It's definitely awesome to see so many girls out here killing it. It's super fun today. The pipe is the nicest it's been all week.
Jen Hudak
Qualifiers stress me out! It's a totally different mindset. You gotta make sure you land well and get into finals, and then you can let it go. They have added more vert [to the pipe] over the past two days. It's a really precise line between too open and too much vert.
