KEY POINTS:
Wanaka skier Jossi Wells has become the first New Zealander to win a medal at the Winter X Games, after taking silver in the slopestyle event in Aspen, Colorado. Wells, 17, completed a successful outing when he also placed fifth in the superpipe event a day earlier.
The slopestyle gold was won by Norwegian Andreas Hatveit who only overtook Wells in the last run, scoring a near-perfect 94 to Wells' 90. Wells said winning an X Games medal was a dream come true. "But this is not enough for me ... I am going to train really hard this year and come back and win it next year.
My life goal is to win X Games gold in both slopestyle and superpipe in the same year."
