And that\'s exactly why the Norwegian rider enjoys nothing more than strapping into his board.<br />"It\'s the freedom of it," Wiig said. "There\'s so much room for creativity in it."<br />Creativity is what Wiig has in spades. <br />Whether it\'s filming videos or stomping tricks on the slopestyle course, not many riders in the world can stack up against Wiig\'s versatility in his riding. That\'s part of the reason that Wiig\'s resume includes back-to-back X Games slopestyle wins.<br />"I\'ve been riding lots of different kinds of terrain my whole life, so I can adapt to different types of courses," Wiig said, attempting to explaing his unrivaled consistency. " ... It\'s all about being able to do that and get the right timing and the right rhythm."<br />Wiig, 28, hopes that\'s what he finds at this week\'s Dew Tour, where he\'ll be one of the favorites to win the slopestyle event.</div></div></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://www.summitdaily.com/article/20091219/SPORTS/912189967/-1/rss">'; output += '<h1>Helgason holds on to top spot in men\'s snb slopestyle</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p><div id=\'bodyContainer\'><div id=\'mainBody\'> <div id=\'story\'>BRECKENRIDGE - Icelandic import Halldor Helgason dominated the men\'s snowboard slopestyle prelim Friday afternoon, scoring a 90 with what judges called a standout, original performance. <br />Putting an exclamation point on a nearly perfect first run, he ollied onto the course\'s last feature, a down rail, and threw a frontside, blunt 270 out. <br />The quiet 18-year-old said, coming into the prelim, his plan was to throw more technical tricks than the competition. He succeeded, barely nudging past Charles Guldemond, who later stomped a backside 1260 to solidify his second-place score of 89. <br />Helgason said he plans to go for the same run during Sunday\'s final. He won the slopestyle open qualifier on Thursday with a score of 85.5. <br />"I just really like the jumps; I just like the whole course. I\'m stoked," Helgason said after his second run.

He said he still plans to backcountry ski, but that he "would more than reconsider" snowboarding on similar slopes in similar conditions to the site of his accident. He was able to ride and swim his way out of a large avalanche on Loveland Ridge around noon on Tuesday. <br />Meyer and his friend, Amy Glatt of Dillon, started hiking up to the ridge around 10 a.m. They hiked up to the summit and Meyer said they inspected the snow for cracks.<br />"We chose a spot that was nice and firm at the top," he said, but also noted that he still was cautious and nervous.
