Shaun White showed no rust in his second competition since the Sochi Olympics, beating the reigning Olympic and Winter X Games champions in qualifying at the Dew Tour Mountain Championships in Breckenridge, Colo., on Thursday.
White, who finished fourth at the Sochi Winter Games and the X Games on Jan. 22, scored 95.40 points in his opening run. White landed a pair of 1080s in his run, according to commentators.
Sochi gold medalist Iouri Podladtchikov was seventh in qualifying to make the final. X Games winner Danny Davis was 20th, earning the last spot in a last-chance qualifier later Thursday.
