It was late last month at the World Cup event in Tazawako, Japan, and the 26-year-old from Montreal had already managed another ridiculous season. “Even though I hadn’t done it once in the winter season, I kind of felt like the moment was perfect,” Kingsbury says. Only Kingsbury could do something unprecedented on a moguls run one day and make it feel routine by the next. And, having completed the cork 1440, Kingsbury says next year will be about fine-tuning it, getting more comfortable with the trick so he can land it off different jumps and in a variety of conditions. “Right now, I think (the 1440) is the future of where moguls skiing is going.”It is no surprise that it is Mikael Kingsbury leading it there.
