Friday Woodward Copper and Dew Tour released renderings of the modified superpipe course that the world\u2019s best snowboarders and skiers will compete in at next month\u2019s Dew Tour, Feb. 6-9 at Copper Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Overall, the course design features mirrored hips, plenty of transition and multiple entry points that lead to a 300-foot traditional superpipe with standard 22-foot walls. The course, which will be located in the same spot of the typical Woodward Superpipe in Copper\u2019s Center Village, continues Dew Tour\u2019s vision of adding more slopestyle-like transition elements and features to the halfpipe competition.<\/p>\n

Different from last year\u2019s Dew Tour modified superpipe at Breckenridge Ski Resort, this year\u2019s pipe will conclude with the traditional 22-foot-tall superpipe portion. Last year there was one feature that started the course: a slopestyle-like spine jump. That was followed by the superpipe, with the more atypical parts of the course at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Last year, skiers and snowboarders hit the superpipe before exiting the pipe via a cat-paw exit. The cat paw allowed for skiers and snowboarders to exit the pipe in an inventive way onto a slopestyle-like landing.<\/p>\n

After that landing, athletes had two options at the final feature of the course. They either could hit a quarter-pipe to bank landing \u2014 similar to a standard halfpipe feel, but with a little bit of a different flair. Or athletes could hit the bank landing from the front as a hip.<\/p>\n

This year, all non-traditional, inventive features will be at the top of the course before athletes finish with the pipe. The first, entry feature will be mirrored 16-foot walls on skier\u2019s right and left. Here, athletes can hit the feature as a hip from the front, leading to a side-hit landing. Or they can opt for a more halfpipe-like experience. There also are rail options on either side between the first and second portions of the first feature.<\/p>\n

Athletes will then transition to another mirrored feature that tops out with 22-foot walls. It\u2019s at this feature, similar to last year\u2019s cat-paw feature at the bottom of the pipe, where skiers and snowboarders can hit the 22-foot walls to execute tricks onto tombstone landings. The tombstone landings will then lead into the standard 300-foot superpipe that completes the course.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s modified superpipe action will begin with the women\u2019s ski final on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 11 a.m. Later that day, the team snowboard modified superpipe final will be at 1:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Feb. 7, the only modified superpipe event is the team ski final, at 1:45 p.m. Then on Saturday, Feb. 8, the women\u2019s snowboard modified superpipe final will be at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n

Come Sunday, Feb. 9, modified superpipe action will round out with the men\u2019s ski final at 9 a.m., and the men\u2019s snowboard final at 10:45 a.m.<\/p>\n
