Park City’s Stevenson, Hall Place Second and Third at Aspen X Games

Colby Stevenson of Park City took second and Alex Hall took third in the Aspen X Games slopestyle competition at Buttermilk Mountain, delivering a strong showing for Summit County athletes on a snowy Saturday. The competition was pushed to the afternoon after heavy snowfall delayed the morning schedule, and Stevenson secured his place on the final run.

Luca Harrington of New Zealand won the event, repeating as slopestyle gold medalist after his victory last year. Hall was bumped to third as both Harrington and Stevenson moved ahead on the leaderboard late in the final. Stevenson’s final run proved decisive in lifting him to second place and keeping Park City represented on the podium.

Harrington reflected on the conditions after the competition. “I didn’t think it was gonna be possible today with the conditions,” Harrington said on the Roku Sports Channel following his win. “But, kept the head down. … I was like ‘I got nothing to lose, may as well go all out for it.'”

The X Games slate for the day also listed men’s ski knuckle huck, with Stevenson and Hall slated to compete in that event later the same evening; the knuckle huck was set to begin at 7:45 p.m., with X Games coverage returning to ESPN at 8:30 p.m. For Park City and Summit County spectators, the dual podium finishes underline the depth of local freeskiing talent as the competitive season unfolds.

Local impact is both symbolic and practical. Podium results from two Park City athletes amplify regional visibility for Summit County’s ski programs and may attract additional media attention and sponsorship interest ahead of spring events. Young skiers at Park City Mountain and surrounding clubs gain tangible role models in Stevenson and Hall, who demonstrated that strong runs under difficult weather can still produce top finishes at the highest level.

The snow delay at Buttermilk Mountain also highlights the operational realities that affect competitive scheduling, broadcast windows, and spectator plans during peak winter months. For local businesses that serve visiting fans and families, continued Park City success on national stages can translate into steady visitor interest through the season.

Stevenson’s second-place finish and Hall’s third-place showing keep local momentum alive as the X Games continue and as the athletes move through the World Cup calendar. Summit County residents will watch for how those performances carry into the knuckle huck and the rest of the winter competition schedule.
