The Special Olympics Unified Snowboarding Final will open the action at 3 p.m. ET. That will be followed by the Snowmobile SnoCross Adaptive Final at 5:30 p.m. ET and the Snowmobile SnoCross Round One & Final at 6 p.m. ET. The best is being saved for last with the Men’s Ski SuperPipe Final set for 8 p.m. ET.
Simon D’Artois won gold in the Men’s Ski SuperPipe at the 2015 Winter X-Games, followed by Kevin Rolland with silver and Alex Ferreira with bronze. American David Wise, who has won gold in the event three times at the Winter X-Games along with a halfpipe gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, will once again be a key name to watch this year.
It’s not as busy a day as the other three days in the event, although the festivities end with a pair of concerts at the music stage. Run The Jewels will first hit the stage, then Nas will follow him up to complete the night.
