Norway’s Torstein Horgmo and Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., each won their second consecutive snowboard slopestyle final today, making them undefeated in the men and women’s disciplines respectively on the 2010-11 season. Horgmo and Anderson’s wins further secure them in the lead positions in overall Tour rankings and puts them neck-and-neck with Louie Vito for Toyota Athlete of the Year.

New Zealand’s Rebecca Torr placed third, bringing her up to second place in the overall Dew Cup standings behind Anderson.

Horgmo, 23, secured the top score of the day during his first run which included a cab 270 to fakie, switch blunt 270 on to switch tailslide 270 out on the up rail, switch frontside double cork 10, switch back 12 and a double cork for a score of 95.25. Breckenridge, Colorado’s Eric Willett, 23, placed second with a 92.50 and Canada’s Mark Mcmorris, 17, rounded out the podium in third with a 90.50.

“It feels really good to win today, and I love Vermont,” said Torstein. “I’m looking forward to the Championships in Utah. They should definitely be fun.”
