Breckenridge, CO- Danny Davis of Highland, MI, won the men’s snowboard superpipe final for the second consecutive year at the Breckenridge stop of the Winter Dew Tour. Spain’s Queralt Castellet and Canadian Mike Riddle took home their first Winter Dew Tour wins in women’s snowboard superpipe and freeski superpipe, respectively.

It was obvious that landing a double cork was key during the men’s snowboard superpipe final. Ilkka-Emeli Laari, of Finland, Iouri Podlachikov of Switzerland, and Roger Kleivdal, of Norway, were among the athletes that landed successful variations, however it was Davis that came out ahead. Davis, 21, landed a cab 10 double cork and a frontside 10 double cork during his first run, to earn a score of 96.50, the highest score in the history of the Winter Dew Tour.

“I feel good, especially after not landing any runs in the contest I had last weekend at Copper,” said Davis. “I just put something together, and it feels doubly nice to win.”

Podlachikov came in second with a score of 91.25, and 2002 Olympic bronze medalist and Breckenridge native JJ Thomas came in third with a score of 84.75, landing a giant frontside 1080 and a backside nine 12 feet out of the pipe.

In the women’s snowboard superpipe final, Castellet, 20, came out on the top of the podium for the first time at the Winter Dew Tour, landing tricks like a frontside 540, backside 5, and a frontside 900. Castellet showed consistency in both runs by earning scores in the 90s, with a final winning score of 92.50.

“I’m so excited because I’ve never won before,” said Castellet. “It feels very, very good, and I can’t believe it.”

Canadian Sarah Conrad came in second by landing a backside 540 into a frontside 5, earning a score of 89 in her second run, jumping her from sixth place to the number two spot on the podium. Kjersti Ostgaard Buaas, of Norway, combined big air with stylish spins to earn her a third-place score of 87.

It was all about the second runs in the freeski superpipe final, as the majority of the athletes fell attempting technical tricks during their first runs. Riddle, 23, came out on top, landing a huge double flip and his signature alley-oop bow and arrow to achieve his winning score of 93.

“It feels amazing to win. I couldn’t be happier,” said Riddle. “I put down the run I wanted to, and I’m just happy I came out on top.”

Josiah Wells, of New Zealand, had a second-place finish with a score of 91.50, with a run that included a 720 tail grab. Frenchman Xavier Bertoni rounded out the podium in third with a 90.75. The Totino’s Open marks the first time Riddle, Wells, or Bertoni have finished on the podium in a freeski superpipe competition.

The four-day competition is the first of three stops of the Winter Dew Tour, which features men’s and women’s snowboarding and freeskiing disciplines. Sunday’s action features the freeski slopestyle final and men’s and women’s snowboard slopestyle finals.
