"Henrik showed the most progressive run of the day, throwing a giant backflip off the start straight into a big 360. He skied very fast and smooth all the way to his final air a 45 footer, which he landed perfectly. He managed to mix both new school freestyle and big mountain skiing."

Our thoughts go out to C.R.'s family, friends, and the ski community as whole. We miss you terribly, C.R. Thank you for the time you granted us and the things you taught us we will never forget.
Simon Dumont capped off the 2010 Dew Tour with a win in Superpipe at Vermont's Mt. Snow resort on Saturday, wrapping up the Tour in second place overall.
Dumont's winning run included a right 900, a double flip, an alley-oop 720 and a switch 720 to finish almost three points clear of Tucker Perkins in second-place. The win put Simon just five points behind overall Tour winner Jossi Wells, making the chase for the year-end title a close one.
"It's been a long but fun season, and it was awesome to have
everything fall into place to get first at the final stop of the
season," said Dumont. "All of the freeskiers really came together to
put on a good show today."
Way out in front of the field with three 90-plus point runs was Red Bull Ski Team newcomer Kaya Turski. Kaya brought the heat on her last run with a 270 disaster, 450-off the canon, switch 900, 540 and switch 720 off the big bottom booter to give her a score of 96.66 and an 11-point lead on the competition.
All in all, not a bad afternoon as the Red Bull Ski Team nabs two of the first three medals award at WX14.
