American riders shine at the Revolution Rookie Fest in Seven Springs

Three of the four wins in the Halfpipe and Slopestyle competitions went to the American riders. Nora Healey (Plymouth, NH) took the win in Slopestyle for the women, while Lyon Farrell (Haiku, HI) won Slopestyle for the men. Danny Davis (Highland, MI) took the top spot in Halfpipe for the men.

It was Healey’s second win on the Revolution Tour, as she also won the Winter Park event just one week before. Healey was also crowned the overall tour winner. Anna Valentine finished just behind Healey at Seven Springs in second place. Farrell earned his first Rev Tour podium finish with the win in Seven Springs. He was joined on the podium by American Brock Crouch (Mammoth Lakes, CA). The overall win for the Rev Tour went to Dylan Thomas (Brooklyn, PA), who took second and fifth at the Winter Park event.

Though the Rev Tour is notably known as a place for up-and-coming athletes to hone their skills, Davis – who is widely known as one of the best professional snowboarders in the elite competitive ranks – needed to compete at Seven Springs to earn valuable FIS points leading into the 2016/17 season. Though he earned the win, he generously donated his prize money to the athletes who finished behind him. Davis was joined on the podium by Jason Wolle (Winter Park, CO), who finished second. Ryan Wachendorfer (Edwards, CO) was the overall tour winner for the Halfpipe men.

Top finishers from Seven Springs men’s Halfpipe: Blake Moller, fourth; Skyler Ordean, fifth; Chase Blakely, sixth.

Noelle Edwards (Stamford, CT) was the top American finisher in the ladies’ Halfpipe event, finishing second. Edwards was joined on the podium by Anna Valentine, who finished third. Savanna Atkins and Kirsten Webster also made the finals, finishing fourth and fifth respectfully.
