It was a great day for a pair of North Bay area slope style snowboarders. 

Canada swept the medals with North Bay’s Tyler Nicholson finishing in third and local product Max Eberhardt finished sixth at a World Cup snowboarding competition in Laax, Switzerland on Friday.  

Max Parrot brought back one of his signature moves to lead Canada to a podium sweep at a World Cup snowboarding competition Friday.

Parrot, of Bromont, Que., captured gold in the men's slopestyle event while Mark McMorris of Regina won silver. 

A total of seven Canadians made the 12-man final.
