Saskatchewan may not have any massive snowboarding mountains, but it is home to, arguably, the world's best snowboarder.

On Saturday, Mark McMorris once again did what he's doing his entire career–winning X Games gold medals.

The Regina snowboarder finished first in the X Games men's slopestyle final.

The 22-year-old has now won gold in that event four of the past five years. The year he didn't win gold–in 2014–he won silver.

McMorris also won a silver medal this year in the big air competition on Friday.
