World Champion Regina Jaquess of the USA made the long trip to Melbourne but was rewarded with the gold in tricks and an early lead in the rankings race.
Australia's Emma Sheers was a rare double winner capturing both the Jump and Slalom event before hometown fans. This fast start will force the other women skiers to play catch up.
