Top Riders to Watch at X Games Aspen

The stakes are high, and the storylines are stacked.

In Women’s Snowboard Big Air, all eyes are on Kokomo Murase, who comes into Aspen as the heavy favorite after becoming the first woman to land a triple cork 1620 in practice last November. If she puts it down in competition, she won’t just win gold—she’ll make history.

On the men’s side, Red Gerard is chasing something truly rare: a three-peat in Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle, a feat that hasn’t been done in two decades. Meanwhile, Scotty James is hunting his fifth straight SuperPipe gold, putting him within striking distance of Shaun White’s all-time record.

From once-in-a-generation talent to legacy-defining runs, Aspen is where snowboarding’s biggest moments happen.
