The competition for men's events was fierce, and the 16 finalists all came out with good shape, among which the Swiss famous Bosch, the American Stevenson, the Norwegian Bratten, and the Spaniard Lloydso all scored more than 80 points in the first round, and Luther's first skate was not ideal, and it was not very good in speed and control. But Luther spelled out a stunning performance in the second skate, scoring a high score of 92.91 and winning the championship with this slip.

Although Bertsch played well in the first round and ranked first, he did not perform as well as the brave Luther in the second round, and finally won the second place, and the third place was won by Stevenson. After the World Cup, both Bertsch and Luther outpaced The Canadian Hendrickson, who had previously ranked top of the table, in both Bertch and Luther in their individual standings for freestyle slope obstacle course skills, with Bertsch rising to the top of the table with 125 points and Luther scoring 124 points.

In the women's slope obstacle course competition in this station, the women's performance in the first round was not very good, the first skate was generally slower, but several players in the second round had a good performance. American Claire successfully slid out of the most difficult flip in the whole game, scoring a high score of 86.13 points and finally winning the championship.
