QUOTES
Sarah Hendrickson, 2013 U.S. Champion
It was a pretty exciting day. I didn’t have a good day yesterday on the normal hill, so I didn’t know what to expect going into the large hill. I’ve always jumped better on large hills, so I’m very happy about today and glad we put on a show for the quite a few people who showed up. I love jumping here in Park City on my home turf—it’s always a great atmosphere.

Nick Fairall, 2013 U.S. Champion
I got a little lucky with the wind, but my last jump was definitely smoother. It’s great to win my first U.S. title – it’s something I’ve always wanted. The whole level of the team is definitely elevating, so it’s definitely good to be on top.
