Canadians had a successful day at the X Games on Friday, with Spencer O'Brien winning her first-ever gold medal at the games in women's snowboard slopestyle and Brett Turcotte winning bronze in snowmobile freestyle.

O'Brien beat out American Jamie Anderson, the most decorated snowboarder in X Games slopestyle history, for the gold, besting her with a best run of 91.00 to 89.00.

Turcotte's bronze medal was his second ever at the X Games. He won a silver in SnoCross in 2008.

Canadian Dara Howell placed fifth in women's ski slopestyle, while Chris Del Bosco placed fourth in qualifying for men's skier X.

The X Games will continue on Saturday and Sunday, including Canadian Mark McMorris who will try to defend his titles.
