COPPER MOUNTAIN RESORT \u2014 Mountain Dew and the Adventure Sports Network Group announced Tuesday the initial schedule for the Dew Tour ski and snowboard competition and festival Feb. 6-9 at Copper Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

As part of the announcement, it was shared for the first time that Dew Tour\u2019s Streetstyle competition will take place on the mountain just above the base of Center Village. During the Dew Tour\u2019s more than decadelong run at Breckenridge Ski Resort, the Streetstyle competition took place on a course set up on a closed portion of Breckenridge\u2019s downtown streets.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s and women\u2019s Streetstyle competitions are just two events scheduled for Dew Tour, which will begin Thursday, Feb. 6 with the women\u2019s ski modified superpipe finals, men\u2019s ski slopestyle qualifiers and the snowboard team challenge.<\/p>\n

Also Feb 6, Dew Tour will host the second annual Gerhard Gross Memorial Race, which is in honor of the late Dew Tour content director and longtime snowboard industry veteran Gross<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Come Feb. 7, local fans will get the chance to watch elite Summit County stars such as Red Gerard and Chris Corning in individual action during the men\u2019s snowboard slopestyle qualifier. The day also will include the men\u2019s and women\u2019s adaptive snowboard banked slalom, which will feature several local Summit County para snowboarders who train at Copper Mountain Resort, including 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic multi-medalist Mike Minor of Frisco.<\/p>\n

To cap the night, Dew Tour will feature newschoolers.com\u2019s 20th anniversary award show and blowout party, which will honor freeskiers from past and present.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile most of the awards will be contemporary, we\u2019ll also be taking a look back through our storied history and recognizing some of the key individuals who brought both ourselves, and skiing as a whole, to where we are today,\u201d Newschoolers representatives wrote about the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Feb. 8 will be an action-packed day at Copper, as the Dew Tour will host the women\u2019s snowboard modified superpipe final and the men\u2019s snowboard and men\u2019s ski slopestyle finals. Later in the day, Copper will host Dew Tour\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s pro Streetstyle finals as well as the Girls Who Ride women\u2019s Streetstyle ski and snowboard finals. Outside of competitions, the day also will include the Beyond the Boundaries session, an open-to-the-public women\u2019s snowboard ride day<\/a>, which encourages female snowboarders to interact and ride with elite female riders.<\/p>\n

In Tuesday\u2019s announcement, event organizers also said Dew Tour will have a free on-snow concert the evening of Dec. 8 at Copper Mountain.<\/p>\n

For the finale, Dew Tour is saving some of its highly anticipated competitions, including men\u2019s ski modified superpipe, men\u2019s snowboard superpipe, women\u2019s snowboard slopestyle and women\u2019s ski slopestyle.<\/p>\n

And throughout the event, the base of Copper Mountain will host the Dew Tour Experience, which includes athlete autograph signings, photo opportunities, poster signings and giveaways.<\/p>\n

Along with Streetstyle, Copper\u2019s Center Village also will be the best place to watch the modified superpipe competitions. The slopestyle competitions will be held in Copper\u2019s Central Park, which can be accessed via the American Flyer lift out of Center Village and the Woodward Express \u2014 formerly the Union Creek Quad \u2014 out of West Village.<\/p>\n

Dew Tour is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Team challenge changes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dew Tour is spicing up this year\u2019s team challenge competition, which pits skiers and riders representing different snowboard and ski companies against each other.<\/p>\n

New this year, each ski and snowboard company team will build a roster of six riders featuring one male and one female rider for each discipline: slopestyle, modified superpipe and Streetstyle. Streetstyle\u2019s inclusion in the team challenge will be a first this year.<\/p>\n

Each of those three disciplines will take the best of a two-run format from each company\u2019s top male and female athletes, who will be judged on overall impression. The top men\u2019s and women\u2019s score will be combined for each team to create one total team section score. In the end, all scores are totaled for one overall score, making the highest-scoring team the winner.<\/p>\n

Brands confirmed to complete include Volkl, Atomic and Faction for skiing and Burton, Oakley and Volcom for snowboarding.<\/p>\n
