Team GB's Park and Pipe star James 'Woodsy' Woods (25, Sheffield) took the British medal haul to five in seven days when he took gold in Ski Big Air at the X Games in Aspen in the early hours of this morning (UK time), the world's biggest freeskiing and snowboarding competition.
It was Team GB's second snowsports gold this week following Millie Knight and her Guide Brett Wild' win at the Para-Alpine World Championships in Tarvisio on Wednesday, our first ever Para-Alpine World Championships gold.
The week of world class success – believed to be the most successful in British snowsports history – began with Dave Ryding's remarkable silver in the Hahnenkamm Slalom in Kitzbuhel last Sunday and was followed by Jamie Nicholls also taking silver in the World Cup Slopestyle in Seiseralm, Italy on Friday.
Team GB's fifth medal in the last seven days was a bronze medal for in-form Katie Ormerod (19, Brighouse) in the X Games Snowboard Slopestyle on Saturday.
Ormerod said after winning her medal: "I'm super happy to get my 1st X Games medal!! It's always been on my bucket list to medal here so I couldn't be happier! Especially to medal in the most high profile event of the season in such a tough and progressive field of riders."
