Halo at the Dew Tour
Today was finals for the women’s snowboard slopestyle for the Dew Tour at Snowbasin, UT. Megan Ginter, ShredBetties team rider, competed today by earning a wild card spot into prelims, and killed it to make it to finals along with Jamie Anderson, Kjersti Buaas, Jenny Jones, Spencer O’Brien, and Kimmy Fasani. She placed 3rd after Spencer in 1st and Jenny Jones in 2nd.
Spencer’s run included a effortless switch back 5, and a back 5. Jenny Jones had a few 5’s in her pocket and a big 7 at the bottom. Megan stomped a sick 2nd run to take 3rd with cab 5, back 3, back 5. She has a much bigger bag of tricks, so look out for her at the X Games and the final stop of the Dew Tour at Mount Snow in Vermont. Another person to look out for in slopestyle this year is Kjersti Buaas. She was spinning huge 7’s on the bottom gap jump in both runs, grabbing and looking so solid and styley. But she washed out on both landings, even over rotating to nine. This landed her towards the end of the pack. Jamie Anderson also washed out a 7 just edging her out of the top.
The Dew Tour had a record amount of people in attendance and the course at Snowbasin was sick. A fun time was had by all and everyone is excited about the Mount Snow event coming up.
I got a chance to be on course and get some sick photos of the ladies. Check it!
