The 2026 X Games women’s snowboard slopestyle podium featured a reshuffle of the 2025 results, with the same three riders returning — this time in a new order.
Great Britain’s Mia Brookes climbed back to the top of the podium at X Games Aspen 2026 after finishing with bronze in 2025, earning the second gold medal of her career.
The 19-year-old, who is set to make her Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026*, now adds this victory to her 2024 X Games slopestyle title.
Brookes sealed the win with a massive 96.33 on her second run, a score no one else could match. New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, the defending 2025 gold medallist and Olympic slopestyle champion, delivered a clutch final run to score 93.00, soaring into silver as the only other rider to break into the 90s. Her late charge dropped Japan’s Murase Cocomo into bronze to complete the podium. Murase herself is coming off a big win at the Laax Open slopestyle.
Brookes, along with the rest of the field, will return to competition in snowboard big air on Saturday, 24 January, where Austria’s Anna Gasser will look to defend her title in search of her sixth X Games gold medal. Gasser, the two-time Olympic big air gold medallist recently returned to competition after recovering from a shoulder injury.
