The Dew Tour course is known as the “modified superpipe” and has several differences from the Olympic halfpipe. It has been reinvented to offer a variety of freestyle elements, to create a longer and more diverse competition.
Elsewhere on the mountain, Canadians Megan Oldham and Teal Harle won the Ski Team Challenge for Team Atomic with 285.00 points. Meanwhile, Alex Beaulieu-Marchand came in third competing for Team Volkl.
All of the action on the Dew Tour will continue tomorrow at Copper Mountain.
