La Plagne, France – At just 16 years old, Basalt, Colo.’s Torin Yater-Wallace topped the men’s halfpipe skiing podium in the first of two World Cup halfpipe competitions Sunday in La Plagne. Also landing on the podium for the U.S. was Devin Logan, of West Dover, Vt., with two seconds in the women’s contests and David Wise second and third in the men’s.nCanada’s Sarah Burke, of Squamish, British Columbia, swept both of Sunday’s World Cup events. Kevin Rolland of France was the men’s winner in the evening competition.

Yater-Wallace led the U.S. charge topping an impressive field with many of the skiers coming over from the European X Games in nearby Tignes earlier this week. The X Games medalist won the first of two events Sunday.

Burke, the reigning X Games Champion Sarah Burke of Squamish, British Columbia, took home the crystal globe as the overall points leader for the season.

David Wise, of Reno, Nev., skied his way onto both podiums, finishing third in the morning and second at night under the lights.
