    "Another year, another opportunity for new tricks to get thrown! Last year we made history at JOI where we saw the first ever triples get made at a Big Air event, something that was huge for me as we have always strived to build the best kickers. This year I am sure that the madness will continue as we plan to make the jump even better!"

    Ogden, Utah. February 13, 2011

    After dominating on the slopes all season, 19-year-old Bobby Brown of Breckenridge, Colo. concluded the Toyota Championship as the overall men’s freeski slopestyle Dew Cup champion. Brown narrowly missed the podium in today’s final with a fourth place finish, but earned enough points to push him to the top of the freeski slopestyle rankings and take home the coveted Cup. With his hometown cheering him on, Park City, Utah native Alex Schlopy, 18, won his first Winter Dew Tour final in men’s freeski slopestyle. On the women’s front, Canadian Kay Turski, 22, landed on top of the podium with a winning score of 89.50.

    “I’m super stoked about winning the Dew Cup,” said Brown. “It’s great to be out here in the sunny weather here in Snowbasin and to end up winning. I’m pumped.”

    The men’s freeski slopestyle final concluded with local Utah athletes in the number one and two podium positions. Schlopy wowed the crowd with a technical run that included a front 3 swap, blind 3 swap, blind 2 out, blind 630 out of the canyon, lefside 900 to switch 1440 for a top score of 94.50. After winning the Last Chance Qualifier and placing first in the prelims, Utah’s Joss Christensen, age 19, finished in second with a score of 92.00. Australia’s Russ Henshaw earned the third podium position with a score of 87.50. 

    “It’s crazy to have won. I’ve been looking at those Dew Tour trophies for a long time, and I finally got one so I’m stoked,” said Schlopy. “It’s a beautiful day out here, and we’re having fun. It’s Utah, my hometown state so it’s good.” 

    In the women’s freeski slopestyle final, Turski stomped the competition, throwing out a front switchup into switch 270 blind up to a front 270 out of the flat rail to a cab 720 to a cab 540, for a top score of 89.50. Devin Logan, age 17 of Dover, Vt., finished second with an 85.00 and Australia’s Anna Segal, 24, rounded out the podium in third with a 79.25.

     “I’m just really excited to have won today,” said Turski. “I pulled it together, and I’m really stoked on my season so far so I hope I can just keep it going.”

     The four-day competition is the third and final stop on the 2010-11 Winter Dew Tour season featuring men and women’s snowboarding and freeskiing disciplines. The Toyota Championship will conclude today with the men and women’s snowboard slopestyle finals where the remaining Dew Cup champions will be honored.

    December 19, 2010

    Breckenridge, Colorado – Canada’s Alexis Godbout claimed his first-ever Winter Dew Tour victory at today’s men’s freeski slopstyle final, closing out the four-day Nike 6.0 Open at Breckenridge Ski Resort. Prior to Godbout’s win, Ashley Battersby of Park City, Utah, was victorious in the women’s freeski slopestyle final, earning a top score of 83.00. 

    One of three athletes to never miss a Winter Dew Tour final, 20-year-old Godbout finally landed on top of the podium at the season-opening event. Godbout’s second run included a back 270, right rodeo 9 and a huge right kangaroo flip to earn a first-place score of 94.50. With a hometown crowd cheering him on, Breckenridge’s Bobby Brown, 19, placed second with a 92.25. Twenty-one-year-old Sammy Carlson of Tigard, Ore. followed behind in third with an 88.75. 

    “I really didn’t expect this that’s for sure. I’m stoked,” said Godbout. “I mean, I started the season in an amazing way and I couldn’t be happier.”

    Twenty-two-year-old Battersby had a first place run in the women’s freeski slopestyle finals that included a disaster (when you air the first part of a rail and slide down the second) on the Nike 6.0 Burlington Double Set, a disaster to switch on the Toyota rail, a switch 540 and a 720. Breckenridge’s own Keri Herman, 28, placed second on her home mountain with a flat score of 83.00 and Canadian Jessica Warll, 22, rounded out the podium in third with an 80.00.

    “It’s amazing to win the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour, and it feels so unreal,” said Battersby. “This is definitely one of my dreams and one of my goals that I’ve accomplished so I’m psyched.”

    The four-day competition was the first of three stops of the Winter Dew Tour featuring men’s and women’s snowboarding and freeskiing disciplines. Approximately 30,500 people experienced the Nike 6.0 Open this weekend at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Breckenridge, Colo. The Tour will continue on to Killington Resort in Killington, Vt. in January and will conclude with the Toyota Championships at Snowbasin Resort in Ogden, Utah.

    Ogden, Utah – January 17, 2010 – Salt Lake City-resident Tom Wallisch, 22, won the freeski slopestyle finals on Sunday at the Winter Dew Tour’s Wendy’s Invitational. Defending 2008-09 Winter Dew Cup champion, Spencer O’Brien of Canada, placed first in the women’s snowboard slopestyle finals, and Chas Guldemond of Reno-Tahoe, Nev. took his first ever Winter Dew Tour win in the men’s snowboard slopestyle finals.

    Wallisch’s second run during the freeski slopestyle finals included a blind switch up to front switch up on the first half rail, a cork 900 blunt and a switch left double 10 Japan air to earn him a first-place score of 94.75. Norwegian Andreas Hatveit, 23, came in second with a 93.63, putting him in a tie with Wallisch for first overall in the Dew Cup standings heading into the final event of the Winter Dew Tour season. Eighteen-year-old Bobby Brown of Breckenridge, Colo. came in a close third with a final score of 93.25.

    “It’s great to compete in Utah at a local mountain and to ski well in front of all of my friends,” said Wallisch. “To be in the running for the Dew Cup is just insane. There’s so much money and notoriety on the line, and everybody’s just gunning for it. To be anywhere near those rankings is just awesome.”

    After just missing a spot on the podium at the Totino’s Open, O’Brien, 21, came out in the top spot in today’s snowboard slopestyle finals. Her winning run included a frontside boardslide, a flawless 5-0 and a backside 540, earning her a score of 91.00. Great Britain-born Jenny Jones, 29, came in second with an 86.75 and 23-year-old Megan Ginter of Stevens Pass, Wash. followed in third with an 80.00.  Heading into the Toyota Championship, O’Brien and Jamie Anderson – today’s fourth-place finisher from South Lake Tahoe, Calif. – are tied for first in overall the Dew Cup standings.

    “I’m super stoked, and it’s really nice to be back on top at the Dew Tour,” said O’Brien. “It was a big crowd and they were really supportive, so that makes it more fun.”

    Guldemond, 22, snagged his first Winter Dew Tour win by throwing out a backside 1260 and a 50/50 salute to the crowd, earning a score of 95.25 in the men’s snowboard slopestyle finals. Tyler Flanagan of Mammoth Lakes, Calif. came in second with a 93.75, while local favorite, Sage Kotsenburg of Park City, Utah came in third with a 92.50. Flanagan and Kotsenburg, both ages 16, are two of the youngest competitors in the snowboard slopestyle discipline and hold the first and second place spots, respectively, in the overall Dew Cup standings heading into the final event at Mount Snow Resort.

    “I had a great time today, and it’s been really fun at Snowbasin. This mountain is sick,” said Guldemond. “I’m praying for Kevin Pearce to be okay since he’s a good buddy of mine. I want to tell all of the kids out there to be safe, have fun and know your limits out there.”

    The four-day competition was the second of three stops on the Winter Dew Tour, featuring men’s and women’s snowboarding and freeskiing disciplines. Approximately 30,000 people experienced the Winter Dew Tour event at Snowbasin, with Saturday’s events breaking a single-day attendance record with approximately 14,000 spectators. The Tour will continue on to Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, Vermont for the Toyota Championship, where athletes in each of the six disciplines will be crowned year-end Dew Cup champions.
