Henshaw impressed at Winter X 2011 by throwing difficult jump combos at the bottom of the Slopestyle course to earn silver -- his first piece of Winter X hardware. This jumper from Down Under was also the first skier to land a triple cork in competition (qualifiers Jon Olsson Invitational in April 2011). While a torn right ACL sidelined Henshaw over the summer 2011, Henshaw is making a strong return to the freeski scene and finished 5th at Winter X 2012.
