AIS/NSWIS Mogul Skier Britt Cox has built on her finals performance at the opening World Cup of the year to take out victory on day one at the US Selection event in Steamboat, Colorado, USA.
The US Selection events feature strong development level skiers from the USA, who are all competing for a start in the US World Cups. A number of international athletes also compete in the event as it serves as a high quality event early in the international season.
Cox had an outstanding day, qualifying in first place for the final and was able to replicate another leading score to take victory.
Joining Britt in the women's final was AIS/NSWIS team-mate Nicole Parks, who made the final in her first event of the season. Nicole showed some promising pieces in her run and as the season develops will have the opportunity to put the whole run together.
AIS Mogul Skiing Coach Steve Desovich was pleased with the winning performance of his young athlete.
"Britt skied consistently today and continued with her fine jumping and overall skiing."
"We are especially pleased she executed two consecutive runs at close to her current capacity."
Matt Graham also performed very well, narrowly missing out on the podium in fifth place.
Coach Desovich was also happy with Matt's performance, where a slightly different race strategy, being slightly more conservative was employed.
"Matt was able to achieve some key objectives in today’s event. We look forward to continuing the process of trying to achieve consistent performances throughout the season."
Two more events are scheduled to take place in Steamboat, another moguls event on December 21 and a dual mogul event on December 22.
