FRISCO \u2014 The 2019-20 FIS snowboard big air season will continue Saturday with the second World Cup big air competition of the season in Modena, Italy.<\/p>\n

Summit County residents and four of the United States\u2019 best big air and slopestyle snowboarders \u2013 Jake Canter, Chris Corning, Red Gerard and Kyle Mack \u2013 are scheduled to compete.<\/p>\n

For Corning, he\u2019ll try to make it two World Cup big air victories to start the 2019-20 season after he landed his trademark quad-cork 1800 at the season-opening World Cup big air competition in Cardrona, New Zealand, in August. It\u2019s only the second time an American has landed a quad-cork 1800 \u2014 four inversions and five 360-degree rotations \u2014 in competition. The Olympic slopestyle gold medalist Gerard took second place at the competition.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s inaugural Modena SkiPass big air event, Corning finished as runner-up to Japanese teen phenom Takeru Otsuka. Corning did so on the strength of a flat-spin frontside 1440, with a melon grab and a backside triple cork 1440 with a melon grab. On his third and final attempt, Corning failed to land the quad-cork 1800 on the big air jump that was a structure of steel and snow 46 meters tall and 130 meters long \u2014 the biggest big air jump ever built in Italy.<\/p>\n

Corning rode his success at last year\u2019s Modena SkiPass event to a successful defense of his FIS overall snowboard World Cup season championship.<\/p>\n

For Mack, it\u2019ll be the West Bloomfield, Michigan, and part-time Silvethorne resident\u2019s first FIS World Cup big air competition in nearly 14 months. At his last FIS World Cup big air competition in September 2018 in Cardrona, the Pyeongchang big air silver medalist finished in fourth place.<\/p>\n

Other U.S. snowboarders scheduled to compete include Lyon Farrell and Sean FitzSimons. The contest takes on more significance for the 2019-20 season after the cancellation of the Dusseldorf, Germany, World Cup big air. With the cancellation, only three stops remain on the snowboard tour.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s big air competition will feature an evening final under the lights in Modena, with the 6:30 p.m. start translating to 11:30 a.m. mountain time Saturday. To watch the competition at that time, go to the Olympic Channel on your television or streaming device.
