In the ladies’ competition, American Shannon Bahrke did not let the foggy, warm and mushy snow conditions disturb her in taking the sixth World Cup victory of her career.
Two December events in Europe were cancelled due to poor weather conditions.
In the men's one-round aerials event, the hosts took the first two podium places with Cord Spero claiming the victory and his close friend Ryan Blais emerging in second place.
Steve Omischl placed fifth and gained the yellow bib as the leader in the men's overall aerials standings.
In the ladies' aerials final, Jacqui Cooper of Australia took a runaway win ahead of Swiss Manuella Mueller.
Cooper posted the highest women's one-jump score in history of 116.64 and now owns the four highest one-jump scores ever.
Once unbeatable in the sport, Cooper has battled back from debilitating injury in 2002.
