There's not a whole lot to say about Red Bull skier Henrik Windstedt's win at the Nissan Freeride World Tour event at Squaw Valley today except...HOLY $H!T. The video below pretty much speaks for itself, be we'll throw in these tidbits as well: The event was on the rocks (no pun intended) due to extreme avalanche danger and eventually moved off the intended Tram Face to Silverado at Squaw Valley. Nevertheless, Henrik threw down a significant run and head judge Eric Seymour had this to say about it: "Henrik showed the most progressive run of the day, throwing a giant backflip off the start straight into a big 360. He skied very fast and smooth all the way to his final air a 45 footer, which he landed perfectly. He managed to mix both new school freestyle and big mountain skiing."

...and by "graces" we mean obliterates a big puffy pow pillow. The December issue of Powder should be hitting stands real soon, so keep an eye out for the Red Bull helmet and pick it up. In other Windstedt news, Henrik recently signed with freeski powerhouse Salomon Skis, joining Red Bull teammate Simon Dumont on the sticks from France. Congrats to both Henrik and Salomon.
