The X Games has just announced the first wave of athletes for X Games Aspen 2016. Here are the updated freeski athlete invites. The Swiss Big Air triple threat of Elias Ambühl, Kai Mahler and Luca Schuler is back alongside fan-favorite Henrik Harlaut and last year’s champ Vincent Gagnier. On the women’s front, Tiril S. Christiansen will go tête-á-tête with Emma Dahlström in what’s sure to be an interesting match-up in women’s slopestyle.
