Notable:
There are several variables that set Gigi Couttet apart from the rest of the Slopestyle field. Not only is he the youngest competitor at WX '03 (Gigi is only 14) and the smallest skier (he is just 88 lbs), but Gigi was a Nordic jumper before he made the transition into park skiing in 2002. While he is a comfortable in the air, he is most recognized for his natural ability to slide rails.
Quote:
The Rossignol team manager, David Bouvier writes, "He [Gigi] is known for his rail level, he is the best jibber."
