For the first time, a ski slopestyle competition for women and a snowmobile best trick contest were held. A highlight of the games was the largest superpipe at X-Games up to then with a height of 6.7 meters and a length of over 200 meters . In the Next Trick competition, Levi LaValle tried the first double backflip on a snowmobile.
