Priscila Cid earns first Rev Tour halfpipe podium for Brazil in Aspen

ASPEN, COLO. — Priscila Cid finished third in women's halfpipe at the U.S. Revolution Tour stop at Buttermilk on Tuesday, the first Rev Tour podium of her career and a milestone moment for the Brazilian-flagged rider.

Cid had been knocking on the door all winter. She finished eighth at the Mammoth Rev Tour halfpipe earlier in March and seventh at the Copper Mountain stop in January. The Aspen result moves her into a small group of riders who have podiumed at the U.S. national qualifier series this season.

This wasn't her first Rev Tour appearance — far from it. Cid first competed on the series in March 2024, finishing 14th and 16th across the two Aspen halfpipe stops that year. The 2024-25 season brought top-ten finishes (8th at Aspen, 7th at Mammoth) but no podium. Her path to a Rev Tour podium has been a three-season build, which is the more typical trajectory than the dramatic one-season story.

The same season that ended without a Rev Tour podium also produced two Futures Tour halfpipe wins — Northstar in February 2025 and Park City in March 2025 — plus a second-place finish at Mammoth. The signal was there. The 2025-26 season then turned that Futures-level dominance into the next-tier breakthrough on Tuesday at Buttermilk.

It was also the only Rev Tour halfpipe podium of the day for a non-American rider, in a field that's heavily weighted toward U.S. development pipeline athletes.

Why this matters

Rev Tour halfpipe events serve two purposes. They're the qualifier path into the U.S. Grand Prix and Olympic-track competition, but they're also the visibility engine for the next generation. A first podium gets attention from coaches, sponsors, and the U.S. Ski & Snowboard staff who watch these events. For an international rider, the Rev Tour is also a chance to compete on a venue most foreign athletes can't otherwise access.

What's next

The U.S. Revolution Tour season wraps up in the spring, with the USASA Nationals at Copper Mountain to follow in March-April. Cid's full event history is available on her profile.
