Henrik Harlaut and Taylor Lundquist, respectively, won male and female skier of the year at Thursday’s virtual Newschoolers.com freeski awards show.
The annual show — which last year took place at Copper Mountain Resort during Dew Tour — celebrates the best in freeskiing, from the competition scene to filming.
Harlaut also won Trick of the Year for the “Griselda Flip.” The trick was a double nose-butter front flip where Harlaut pressed and rode the tips of his skis into the top of the X Games Aspen knuckle-huck before flipping forward on his vertical axis but backward, and blind, horizontally down the hill before landing backward at the knuckle-huck base.
This year’s award winners also included:
- Outstanding Video Project: “Keeshfile 20,” Keeshlife
- Best Short Video: “Forrgive,” Forre
- Crew of the Year: Carnage
- Best Style: Antti Ollila
- Comp MVP: Ferdinand Dahl
Newschoolers also inducted Will Wesson and Andy Parry into its hall of fame.
