With snowflakes softly falling in the dusky evening skies, 21 of the Okanagan Valley's top athletes in skiing, snowboarding, and wakeboarding competed in the first ever "Magnificent 7s" slopestyle competition at Big White Ski Resort on Saturday night.

　　伴随着片片的雪花，4月5日晚，来自加拿大Okanagan山谷的21名顶尖滑雪和滑板的运动员聚集在Big White滑雪场参加了第一届"Magnificent 7s"斜坡滑雪比赛。

　　The Sun Rype Adventure Park at Happy Valley was the venue for the evening's entertainment. Without doubt a major highlight for the estimated crowd of 1500 spectators was seeing the wakeboarders towed across a special man-made pool and performing slopestyle tricks on an elevated flat-rail. Instead of a boat, a 2008 Jeep was used to tow the riders to the rail! DJ beats echoes across the hillside, and the assembled throng was buzzing with excitement!

　　经过激烈的角逐，Cameron Schuster荣获滑雪赛的冠军，Alex Murovec荣获雪板赛的冠军，Chris Canuel荣获滑板赛的冠军，他们分别获得1500美元的大奖。
