Canadians crowded the ski cross World Cup Finals podiums on home snow on Friday. Reece Howden led the charge with gold in the men's race, while Courtney Hoffos and Marielle Thompson earned silver and bronze, respectively, in the women's race at Craigleith Ski Club in Collingwood, Ont.

Howden, of Cultus Lake, B.C., notched his third victory of the season after leading the big final from start to finish. "It feels amazing.

This is the biggest win of my season for sure," he said in a post-race interview. "I hadn't been this nervous for a race in a long time, did a good job suppressing it, but this is all I wanted." GOLD for Canada's Reece Howden at the ski cross World Cup stop in Craigleith
