Winter Dew Tour Finals

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:59:02 -0700

December 20, 2008

Today brought an end to all the skiing events at the first ever Winter Dew Tour stop in Breckenridge, Colorado. Snow, cold, and high winds could not stop SCOTT Athletes from excelling throughout the week and it paid off today.

Men's Slope Podium

Men's slopestyle saw several SCOTT athletes in the finals and Henrik Harlaut led the charge by finishing 3rd after qualifying first. Jossi Wells (poles), ended up finishing second just ahead of Henrik. Matt Walker had a great day and finished fifth, Simon Dumont (poles) finished seventh, and Alexis Godbout came in ninth.

Keri Herman

Keri Herman took home third place in the women's slopestyle event after battling through the high winds and blowing snow while spinning both ways on the first two hits of the course.

Justin Dorey

Tonight brought out the lights on the Peak 8 Superpipe and all the big guns came out blazing. After a few brief course holds, the winds held off long enough to get the final 12 men through without any hiccups. When the dust settled it was Tanner Hall on top and Justin Dorey finishing in second place after skiing super strong all week. SCOTT Pole athletes Peter Olenick and Simon Dumont finished 4th and 5th respectively, just off the podium.

Men's Pipe Podium

It was a great Dew Tour for SCOTT athletes, and we look forward to the next stop at Mt. Snow, Vermont, January 8 - 12, 2009.

The skies cleared today over Breckenridge for the Ski Superpipe Elimination Round and skiers threw down. The field of 35 men needed to be whittled down to the final 12 and skiers were laying down everything they had.

As the wind died down, it was Simon Dumont on top with Justin Dorey in second and youngster Duncan Adams in third. It was noticeable that some of the big boyz were holding back their biggest tricks for the finals on Saturday night under the lights.

The top 12 advanced to finals

SCOTT Pole athletes Josiah Wells, and Peter Olenick are also in to the finals on Saturday, which will be a long day for many athletes as the slopestyle prelims and finals are going on as well as Pipe finals at night. Good luck to all athletes.

Day 3 of Dew Tour in Breckenridge came to a close today with no events being completed. Mother Nature put down a course hold of her own with high winds and blowing snow wreaking havoc on the course. SCOTT Athletes were still able to get some practice laps on the course before the weather put a stop to the day. Enjoy the photos and check back tomorrow!

December 16, 2008

Snow, wind, and cold temperatures could not put a damper on day one of the Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado. The first day brought the Men's Ski Slopestyle prelims to Freeway 8 in Breck.

The view from the top

Henrik Harlaut came out swinging on both runs with his ever-ooozing style and threw down a flawless Cab 12 en route to a first place finish in the prelim qualifier, thus earning himself a spot in every stop of the Dew Tour. Not far behind Henrik was Alexis Godbout who finished in fourth place with a smooth run.
