HCMAMMOTH, Calif. - Canadian freestyle skier Amy Fraser earned her first career World Cup gold in the halfpipe competition on Friday without having to race.
A severe snowstorm cancelled all of the World Cup events at Mammoth Mountain, including the women's halfpipe final.
The 28-year-old Fraser, who was born in Halifax but now lives in Calgary, was awarded gold due to her first-place showing in Tuesday's qualifying where she tallied 85.50 points.
Olympic champion Eileen Gu of China settled for second with 83.50 points, while Zoe Atkin won bronze with 82.50.
It was the same podium finish as last weekend's superpipe result at the X Games in Aspen, where Gu took gold, Atkin nabbed silver and Fraser claimed bronze.
The result is Fraser's third career World Cup medal in halfpipe. She won bronze at China's Secret Garden in December, and silver in Colorado last season.
Dillan Glennie, of Courtenay, B.C., finished fifth on Friday with 80 points.
The World Cup snowboard slopestyle event scheduled for Friday at Mammoth Mountain was also cancelled.
