Two-time world champion Alex "Chumpy" Pullin has taken out his first snowboard cross event of the season in the Swiss resort of Veysonnaz.
It has been a tough 14 months for Pullin who failed to medal at last year's Winter Olympics and January's world championships in Austria.
But in a season also disrupted by event cancellation, Pullin came good in the penultimate event, leading and winning every race to show his quality.
After finishing a disappointing 21st in the first event of the World Cup double-header Pullin bounced back in style.
"I was a little disappointed yesterday, and came up today really hungry," Pullin said.
"You had to ride with a bit more feeling because the light was pretty flat."
Pullin crossed the line in the six-man final ahead of Spain's Lucas Eguibar in second and Canadian Kevin Hill in third.
Jarryd Hughes backed up his eighth placing on Saturday with an impressive fourth in the second event, just falling short of a podium finish but rounding out a great weekend for the 19 year-old.
In the women's race Belle Brockhoff made it through to her second consecutive final of the weekend.
An error in the final proved costly, with Brockhoff settling for sixth for the second day in a row.
The final was taken out by Canadian Dominique Maltais.
The riders now head to La Molina, Spain for next weekend's final round.
