Cassie Sharpe stormed to the women's halfpipe World Cup crown with victory in the final event of the season in Tignes.
Her fellow Canadian Noah Bowman won the men's event – his first career World Cup victory – but the overall title went to America's Alex Ferreira.
Sharpe – who won Olympic gold at Pyeonchang 2018 – finished with a total of 90.40 to top the pile and jump ahead of Brita Sigourney in the overall standings.
"This is just the best place to cap off the season," Sharpe said, "It's pretty crazy because I don't think I've ever been close to winning the globe so I'm just stoked to come here after the Olympics, perform and have a lot of fun with Marie at her last contest."
Second on the day was French legend Marie Martinod, on her final World Cup appearance, while Sigourney had to settle for third.
In the men's event, Bowman bagged his first World Cup win with a total of 94.20 points while Ferreira was second – enough to claim the overall crown ahead of his compatriot David Wise.
