It’s nearly time ladies and gents. The final countdown has begun and Dew Tour Killington is just a day away. We’ll admit we were pretty skeptical with the ability of Killington and Snow Park Technologies to build a 22-foot Superpipe and three-story booters in the Slopestyle course out of the seriously pitiful snowfall we’ve had. But we should have known better. We’re stoked and amazed at their snow wizardry and the final outcome. Props.

The weekend is going to be a busy one. If you’ve never been to a mountain during a major media event, just imagine the scene during Christmas weekend and multiply it by 10 or so. It’s going to be a straight up mad house, but that’s why we love it and you can bet your freezing bums we’ll be there representin’.
In fact, we’ll be providing constant updates and standings info as the rider progress through the semi-final and final rounds of competition. Stay connected with us on Facebook and join the conversation with hundreds of fellow spectators on twitter.
It even seems the weather may be good, 'magine that. Image courtesy of NOAA.
If you’re watching from home whilst icing some shred-related injury (the only excuse we’ll consider) then stay glued to the Killington Superpipe web cam. Who know’s maybe you’ll see us up there high-fiving Danny Davis or Louie Vito.
Here’s the schedule in case you’ve missed it on one of the millions of other sites talking about the Dew Tour. See you at Bear Mountain.
