Men's Snowboard Big Air
- Max Parrot -170
- Dusty Henrickson +250
- Takeru Otsuka +400
- Sven Thorgren +600
- Rene Rinnekangas +600
- Yuki Kadono +700
- Marcus Kleveland +700
"Reigning X-Games Big Air Gold Medalist Max Parrot headlines a stacked field for the Snowboard Big Air Competition. His World #1 ranking and two gold medals in the past three years would normally make him an easy choice for the favorite to repeat. Up and comer Dusty Henrickson can’t be ignored and neither can 2019 Gold Medalist Takeru Otsuka returning to competition after a year away rehabbing a knee injury. I see plenty of value in Henricksen and Otsuka and would not be surprised to see a three way tie for the favorite going in to the event. It’s safe to say Parrot will have to produce a flawless run to keep his spot at the top of the podium for another year."
Men's Snowboard Slopestyle
- Dusty Henrickson +125
- Red Gerard +175
- Mark McMorris +600
- Mons Roisland +700
- Staale Sandbech +700
- Sven Thorgren +700
- Marcus Kleveland +800
- Rene Rinnekangas +800
- Max Parrot +1000
- Sebastien Toutant +1000
“Red Gerard has finished Top 5 in the last 3 X Games and heads into the competition as World #1, but that was not enough to be the favorite to win the Snowboard Slopestyle event. Had Dusty Hendricksen not stomped the first ever slope style Quad Cork he wouldn’t be +125, but after showing out at the Burton US Open the time has come for the next Great One to solidify his place as the favorite to win any Slopestyle event for years to come.”
Men's Snowboard SuperPipe
- Scotty James -250
- Yuto Totsuka +300
- Ruka Hirano +450
- Jan Scherrer +450
- Shaun White +600
- Taylor Gold +900
- Toby Miller +1000
- Danny Davis +1200
“Scotty James has been unstoppable the past 3 years, with his only real blemish being a Bronze medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Back to back X-Games Gold Medals and a World #1 ranking put the Australian at the top of our odds but the up and coming Japanese contingent of Totsuka and Hirano should provide plenty of pressure for a podium finish. 3 years ago at the Olympics it was a nearly identical situation for James and the Japanese riders, only to be upset by the GOAT Shaun White. There’s value at +600 as we can expect the Flying Tomato to go full send and put the pressure on his younger competition.”
Women's Snowboard Big Air
- Miyabi Onitsuka +125
- Anna Gasser +250
- Reira Iwabuchi +250
- Kokomo Murase +350
- Laurie Blouin +700
- Zoi Sadowski-Synott +700
- Julia Marino +800
- Jamie Anderson +1000
“The amount of parity in Women’s Snowboarding made handicapping all the events a challenge, but none more so than the Big Air. All of the ladies can huck massive tricks. Gasser, Iwabuchi, Maruse, Blouin, Sadowski-Synott are all threats to finish at the top of the podium. We know they can all go big, so the question comes down to who can stomp the landing. The competition is so fierce, that the Mountain GOAT Jamie Anderson, is 10/1 to win Gold at the Buttermilk Big Air. Time will tell if MyBookie regrets these odds but I don’t see how bettors won’t take a flyer on Anderson to win.”
Women's Snowboard Slopestyle
- Jamie Anderson -170
- Julia Marino +175
- Laurie Blouin +200
- Hailey Langland +1000
- Anna Gasser +1200
- Kokomo Murase +1200
- Zoi Sadowski-Synott +1200
- Reira Iwabuchi +1500
“X-Games Gold Medalist in 2018 and 2020, back to back Olympic Gold Medalist in slopestyle, it was an easy choice making Jamie Anderson the favorite to win yet another X-Games Gold Medal in the Slopestyle. Marino and Blouin will put the pressure on, but toppling the Mountain GOAT may be too big a challenge for them and the rest of the ladies in the field”
Women's Snowboard SuperPipe
- Chloe Kim -170
- Queralt Castellet +200
- Maddie Mastro +400
- Ruki Tomita +600
- Kurumi Imai +700
- Haruna Matsumoto +700
- Brooke D'Hondt +1000
- Sonora Alba +1200
“Chloe Kim returns to the professional scene after her year long sabbatical to attend Princeton University and goes right back to where she left off, as the favorite to win any SuperPipe event she enters. If Ms. Kim sticks her landings the Gold will be hers, but any wobble will open the door to Queralt Castellet to leave the X-Games with Gold and a new World #1 Ranking to go along with it.”
Men's Ski Big Air
- Birk Ruud +150
- Antoine Adelisse +175
- Henrik Harlaut +250
- Andri Ragettli +600
- Alex Hall +800
- Evan McEachran +800
- Quinn Wolferman +800
- James Woods +800
“Being 14th overall in the World wasn’t enough to push Henrik Harlaut out of the Top 3 and rightly so. The 2020 X-Games Gold Medalist will need to upset the World #1 Birk Ruud and #2 Antoine Adelisse, which he did in 2020 to capture his 6th X-Games Big Air Gold Medal. If Andri Ragettli busts out the Quad Cork 1800 his +600 odds on an X-Games Gold Medal will seem like a gift from the oddsmakers.
Men's Ski Slopestyle
- Andri Ragettli +250
- Ferdinand Dahl +400
- Nick Goepper +400
- Colby Stevenson +400
- Evan McEachran +500
- Birk Ruud +500
- Alex Hall +600
- Henrik Harlaut +600
- Fabian Boesch +700
- Alex Beaulieu-Marchand +800
“Showing vast improvement on the rail sections to go along with his big jump prowess has brought Ragettli to the top of the World Rankings and the favorite to win the X-Games Slopestyle event. Reigning Gold Medalist Colby Stevenson provides some value at +400 if you think he can go back to back at the top of the podium”
Men's Ski SuperPipe
- Alex Ferreira +175
- David Wise +200
- Aaron Blunck +250
- Nico Porteous +350
- Birk Irving +600
- Beau-James Wells +600
- Noah Bowman +700
- Gus Kenworthy +1000
“Earning a Gold Medal in 2020, 2019 and a Silver in 2018 makes Alex Ferreira the man to beat on the SuperPipe in 2021. He’ll have some competition in veteran David Wise and Aaron Blunck, but both can only hope that Ferreira falters on the landing because they can not beat him in the air.”
Women's Ski Big Air
- Tess Leduex +175
- Guilia Tanno +200
- Kelly Sildaru +250
- Mathilde Gremaud +400
- Sarah Hoefflin +500
- Megan Oldham +600
- Isabel Atkin +700
- Maggie Voisin +700
“Guilia Tanno might be #1 in the World, but Tess Ledeux’s ability to show up and huck big for premier events has her at the top of the odds board to win Gold in the Women’s Big Air Competition. Expect to see her throw the Leftside Double Cork 1260 and wait to see if phenoms Kelly Sildaru and Mathilde Gremaud and her Switch Double Cork 1080 can match the high scores that Tess Ledeux is sure to post”
Women's Ski Slopestyle
- Kelly Sildaru +200
- Johanne Killi +300
- Tess Ledeux +300
- Eileen Gu +350
- Maggie Voisin +400
- Mathilde Gremaud +600
- Sarah Hoefflin +600
- Caroline Claire +800
- Guilia Tanno +1000
“Widely regarded as the best all around freestyle skier in the World, Kelly Sildaru and her 9 X-Games medals at the age of 18, including back to back slopestyle Gold make her +200 to go back to back to back in 2021. World #1 Tess Ledeux and #2 Johanne Killi being in the field make it so Sildaru isn’t a lock to take the title a 3rd time around. This event should be the most hotly contested result in the 2021 X-Games, with the winning competitor having to put down a flawless run with a never before attempted, and landed, trick mixed in.”
Women's Ski SuperPipe
- Kelly Sildaru +150
- Rachael Karker +200
- Cassie Sharpe +250
- Eileen Gu +600
- Devin Logan +600
- Brita Sigourney +600
- Zoe Atkin +700
- Valeriya Demidova +700
“The SuperPipe event should provide an easier path to Gold for Kelly Sildaru than the Slopestyle event. Her podium mates in 2019 and 2020, Rachel Karker and Cassie Sharpe won’t make it easy for her, but at least she won’t have to face fellow phenoms Tess Ledeux and Mathilde Gremaud.”
