Known for its flatness, love of the Roughriders and now…the best competition snowboarder in the world?
Regina’s Mark McMorris has become the leader of a teenage groundswell sweeping snowboarding after winning gold in big air and slopestyle at Winter X 2012 and repeating as slopestyle champion at Winter X 2013 with the highest score ever awarded (98.0).
He was the first to win double gold at Winter X since Shaun White did it in 2009 and their growing rivalry has challenged the snowboard supremacy of the once untouchable red-headed superstar.
In Sochi 2014, the prairie-prodigy will hope to continue his slopestyle-dominance in the much-anticipated Olympic debut of the discipline.
