Dew Tour Re-Cap :: Mt. Snow, VT

This past weekend at Mount Snow was the 2nd stop of the Dew Tour. The next and last stop is at Northstar at Tahoe in Truckee, CA in February. Tons and tons of snowboarding and skiing fanatics came out to watch the pros throw down, party with the pros, try to score VIP bracelets and ride Mt. Snow. The "festival village" they set up also had the Flobots playing along with Boys like Girls, lots of vendor booths and food and more Mountain Dew then a teenage boy could dream of. Everyone was super amped up on the caffeine and psyched for all the free give a ways.
Men's slopestyle finals was an amazing event to watch. With rails at the top, one rail in the middle and two big jumps at the bottom made for a serious course.
Coming in first place from Norway was Torstein Horgmo, 92.67. Second place was Olympic Gold medalist, Shaun White with a final score of 92.33. And in third place was Andreas Wiig, also from Norway with a final score of 88.00.

On Sunday was the superpipe finals with Shaun White coming in first and totally killing it in the pipe. Steve Fisher in second and Kevin Pearce in Third place. There was a approximately of 24,800 fans that came out to witness snowboarding and skiing at its finest. It was crazy! Check out www.allisports.com for full coverage of the weekend!
