Just finished watching the Men’s Freeski Slopestyle event in the Winter Dew Tour at Breckenridge, and all I can really say right now is… Wow!  This year’s Breckenridge Dew Tour roster boasted 24 Olympians, including 2006 gold medalists Shaun White and Hannah Teter, so needless to say it was pretty much amazing.  But no one’s set impressed me more than 17-year-old Bobby Brown’s winning run.

The Colorado native kicked off his routine with a switch 1080, then headed into a switch double rodeo 9, a kangaroo flip 900 over the third jump, and finally a misty 450 over the kinked rail (which was so amazing, and if I find a video of it on YouTube later today I’ll for sure post).  His landings were solid throughout, with the exception of the second where he had to grab his knees for support; though, after that stunning routine, I’ll let that one slide  

Though I didn’t get a chance to watch the rest of the events, winners so far include Shaun White in the Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle, Spencer O’Brien in the Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle and Sarah Burke in the Women’s Freeski Superpipe event. 

The Winter Dew Tour - this year’s first ever – is an event that will tour three of the nation’s best resorts with more than 100 top riders all competing for a $1.5 million prize.  It features women’s and men’s ski and snowboard events in both slopestyle and Superpipe. Coverage streams live on NBC. 

After this weekend, what’s next for the Winter Dew Tour?  Mt. Snow in Vermont on Jan. 8 to 11, then Northstar-at-Tahoe Feb. 19 to 22.
