COPPER MOUNTAIN – After more than 2 feet of snow dumped on Copper Mountain Resort the past two days, Dew Tour is ready to rock-and-roll with a massive slate of competitions on Saturday.
The action will begin at 9 a.m. with the women’s modified snowboard superpipe and won’t stop until after the men’s snowboard streetstyle final concludes after 7 p.m., eight contests in total from the modified superpipe, to slopestyle to streetstyle courses.
In the modified pipe, American slopestyle and big air legend Jamie Anderson will compete. And without American star Chloe Kim, Anderson will look to knock off top American halfpipe contender Maddie Mastro, international stars in Queralt Castellet of Spain, Jiayu Liu of China and Haruna Matsumoto of Japan.
Afterward, on the ski side, Estonian teen phenom Kelly Sildaru is the unquestioned queen of women’s freeskiing, dominant in both the halfpipe and slopestyle courses. That makes it that much more interesting to see what she might have in store for Dew Tour’s modified superpipe, which many athletes refer to as “pipestyle” over traditional halfpipe.
But after Sildaru narrowly edged Canada’s Cassie Sharpe at X Games, the prideful and high-flying Canadian surely will have all the motivation to capture a Dew Tour championship.
Out on the slope course, Norwegian and defending champ Stale Sandbech has to be a favorite along with Canada’s Mark McMorris and Max Parrot , who both look to make up for slope struggles at X Games.
As for men’s ski slope, the top contenders are 22-year-old Colby Stevenson of Park City and Andri Ragettli of Switzerland, who just topped Stevenson last weekend to win the Land Rover U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain in California.
As for Stevenson, he won the inaugural ski knuckle huck and ski slopestyle at his rookie appearance at X Games Aspen last month. Top contenders like McEachran don’t look at him as a rookie — the defending Dew Tour champion described Stevenson as “the greatest skier in the world for the past couple of years” after the X Games slopestyle final.
