Halfpipe is burly as fuck. Yesterday the men threw down despite some issues with the shaded wall sending them to the flat bottom on more than one occasion, but the women didn't have the same issues today. Beautiful weather greeted the athletes once again, so it was clearly a good call to delay...
Devin Logan joined the duo of T Wall & T Hall in the booth tonight for Women's Streetstyle at Dew Tour '24 at Copper Mountain. The field was super stacked with 12 riders dropping at the start, with the same format as the men's. The ladies went hard from the word go, let's get into it!

Tom Wallisch and Tanner Hall took to the booth for men's streetstyle skiing, one of the highlights of the competition season last year. The crowd was bumping for the 20th anniversary, and the rider list was truly stacked for the opening ski contest of the 2024 Dew Tour. Round 1 was comprised of...
It might feel crazy took look forward to it with snow finally falling for many of us... but we can't deny it; we're quietly already excited for some summer skiing. With slushy park laps, good vibes, and a ton of progression, it's hard to beat skiing in summer.

Jib League is a pretty big deal. It might toe the line of derivative naming (Street League anyone?), but that aside, it's probably the best thing to happen to competition skiing since, well actually maybe ever. Today sees the release of 'The League', a new action documentary offering an inside...

Jon Sallinen and Hunter Hess both went down hard on their right dub 12s. Hunter's run looks to have some awesome smaller spins, like a really tweaked...

Knuckle huck is everyone's favorite event, sure the judging is even more whack than slope, big air and pipe but it's fun, creative and downright silly. It's anyone's game and we were super excited for this one. Without further ado lets talk about it!
Dani Bacher pulled out of knuckle huck...
