Let's do this! Zuzana Stromkova (SVK) making history dropping on course first-ever women's freestyle ski #slopestyle in the #Olympics !

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:00:48 AM
Zuzana Stromkova took a 720 HUGE over the final hit but slipped out and down the landing. 1 more qualifier run for her to make it up

And it didn't take long for the first wipeout of the slopestyle event. The first skier goes down.

Full pull from Philomena Bair (AUT)! Keeping it simple, keeping it clean!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:04:12 AM
First American up in the slopestyle will be Keri Herman. She's up after the next skier.

The conditions out here for freestyle ski #slopestyle are some hard-pack snow making for high speeds + clouds overhead, should be good!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:05:40 AM
Back at curling, Russia has narrowed the gap against Team USA. It's now 4-3 with the U.S. in front entering the 5th.

Another full pull, this time from New Zealand's Anna Willcox-Silfverberg! #slopestyle scores are relatively low so far

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:08:18 AM
Keri Herman up now for Team USA at the women's slopestyle. She's got medal aspirations.

Get ready! @KeriHerman is on course and here to slay it! 31 years old and full of #slopestyle skill!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:08:48 AM
No worries @KeriHerman , that 720 over the final booter will come together in your next run! #slopestyle #Sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:09:36 AM
.@KeriHerman played hockey in college. Didn't start skiing until she was 22 years old.

by Jason Stahl via twitter 2/11/2014 6:09:51 AM
Herman had huge air on the corkscrew but couldn't stick the landing.

Would have been a great run had she landed that. Slo-mo replay shows she wasn't that far off, just got her skis crossed up a bit. She seems to be taking it well, with a score of 27.40. In fourth place right now.

Professional skiing is in her blood! Camillia Berra stomped a solid #slopestyle run, making her racing dad proud we're sure!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:11:55 AM
That takes her to the top! Camillia Berra earned a 74.40 with that run! #Sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:12:36 AM
American Devin Logan up now in the women's slopestyle.

With that insider's perspective, @dlogan took on the role of a judge when she injured her knee a while back #slopestyle advantage!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:16:48 AM
Devin Logan lands all three jumps, two in reverse to cap off a sold run. Takes a score of 79.40 to move into 1st place.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:17:20 AM

Taking that top spot, @dlogan 's 79.40 will be the new score to beat! #slopestyle but here comes @DaraHowell (CAN) who has the tools!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:17:38 AM
There is some expectation for Canada to sweep, will @DaraHowell set the stage with this #slopestyle run? full pull says yes

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:18:17 AM
Crazy, just overheard @DaraHowell cut her nose earlier this week on her lampshade!?! good thing that didn't phase her

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:19:27 AM
Logan no longer in first place as Canada's Dara Howell moves ahead with a great run and a score of 88.80.

Gut check for Sweden's Emma Dahlstrom, took a spill on the down box up top #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:21:49 AM
That was a nasty fall by Emma Dahlstrom of Sweden. Landed right on the wood board.

Here come's Lisa Zimmermann... she has a double cork in her bag and is the only woman out here who could unleash it! #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:24:24 AM
Back over at curling, the U.S. women's team are locked in a tight match against Russia. Leading 5-4 after 5.

the "blonde icon of Italian skiing" Silvia Bertagna nailed a 720 on that #slopestyle final jump

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:26:45 AM
It's a great day for some #slopestyle ! Only 30 minutes until the women get started! #sochi2014 #olympics instagram.com

by U.S. Freeskiing via twitter 2/11/2014 6:27:40 AM
Top score is @DaraHowell 's 88.8, there is room for some improvement from the women of #slopestyle freestyle ski - who will crack the 90s

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:28:28 AM
we saw the first-ever medal awarded to Great Britain's @jennyjonessnow the other day, will Katie Summerhayes make it 2? #slopestyle

The U.S. women gave up a lead in their loss to Switzerland the other day, too.

looks like her right leg took the blow of that knuckle buckle. Chiho Takao (JPN) will make it up on #slopestyle run # 2
