"That crash on my first run was my fault," Woods said to ESPN after being asked about any equipment failure. "I knew in the back of my head I could fix that and throw down a good run."
Norway's Andreas Håtveit and X Games rookie Alex Bellemare from Canada finished out the top three in the qualifiers. Tom Wallisch was the favorite before the day after winning the event last year, but he failed to advance after crashing on his first run.

After coming up short on a back flip, his sled came over on top of him and knocked him unconscious.
He was checked out for a concussion and had surgery for a heart contusion on Friday morning. His brother Colten was also injured after separating his pelvis, but his injuries did not require surgery.
