This past weekend saw the 2012 Winter X Games go down in Aspen, Colorado and the athletes definitely performed!
Here’s our favourite 4 major highlights (with video):
Horgmo Torstein’s perfect Triple Cork in the Snowboard Big Air Final – he earned a perfect score of 50 but it was only enough to get him the silver medal.

Winter X- Games also held a tribute to fallen skier Sarah Burke who passed away in January doing what she loved best. Our thoughts go out to Sarah’s family and friends. R.I.P Sarah!
