STONEHAM, Quebec (AP) Canada's Michael Ciccarelli won first slopestyle title Saturday in the FIS Snowboard World Cup tour opener.
The 18-year-old Ciccarelli had a winning score of 95.50.
''It's been a long time coming,'' Ciccarelli said. ''I've been working pretty hard to get tricks down. It felt good to go clean through the whole course today. After the first run I knew there was still room for some improvement.''
Finland's Janne Korpi was second at 91.00, and Japan's Keita Inamura third at 88.25.
