BEIJING — Park City’s own Alex Hall and fellow American Nick Goepper crowded the men’s freeski slopestyle podium as Hall captured the gold and Goepper brought home the silver for the stars and stripes.

In what would be the top score of the day, Hall set the tone right from the beginning with a 90.01 that would not be bested. Hall then followed up his first run with a 86.38 and a 31.41, but in a competition that only counts your top score, his 90.01 won gold and effectively secured his first Olympic hardware.
