Snowboarder Mark McMorris edged defending champion and fellow Canadian Max Parrot for the gold medal in big air at a World Cup event on Saturday. McMorris, who won bronze in slopestyle at the Sochi Olympics in 2014, scored 189.50 points to secure his third career big air World Cup gold. The Quebec City event served as the final stop of the first ever big air Super Series, a tour within the World Cup tour. Big air will make its Olympic debut next year in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The 23-year-old won bronze in big air at the X Games in Aspen last month while Parrot won gold.
