Sarah Burke won her third consecutive Women's Ski Superpipe at the X Games but this one may have been a little tougher to come by. A wet snow that fell most of the day threatened to slow the pipe down but luckily the weather cooperated. Burke spent much of the contest trailing Jen Hudak but used her final run to throw a 9, to straight-air, to leftside 5, to rightside 5, to a 7 on the final wall. Damn.
