As fog descended over the mountain for the final contests of the day, Nick Goepper staked his claim to the men's freeski slopestyle win at the Toyota Championship. He jumped out to an early lead with his first run, only to improve upon it with a victory lap that earned him asolid 95.00.

He started his run with a 450 on 270 out on the first feature, followed by a front swap backside 450 out, and a switch 270 onto the cannon box with a rodeo 450 out...]]> 32724 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32723/spencer+obrien+and+sebastien+toutant+claim+winter+dew+tour+slopestyle+championships/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:16:32 PST
Sebastien Toutant came to the slopestyle course today at Snowbasin with one goal in mind - to win his first Dew Cup at the Toyota Championship. After a season of consistent riding, placing second at the both the Nike Open and Pantech Invitational, he used his motivation to stomp a clean and technical run and earn a score of 94.50.

He already had the win in his pocket when dropping in for his second lap through the course, and managed to improve upon..]]> 32723 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32721/winter+dew+tour+ski+superpipe+finals/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:24:25 PST
The men's freeski superpipe final at the Toyota Championships saw one of the closest Dew Cup races in Winter Dew Tour history culminate at Snowbasin Resort in Ogden, Utah. Going into the competition, Kevin Rolland was leading the standings, with Torin Yater-Wallace just two points behind him. But in the end, neither were able to get past David Wise after he landed a solid first run, scoring a 94.50 that could not be topped by anyone's second..]]> 32721 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32719/winter+dew+tour+toyota+championships+superpipe+finals/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:52:03 PST
It all came down to the Winter Dew Tour Championships today, during the superpipe finals at Snowbasin Resort in Utah.

The women were the first to suit-up and drop-in to Snowbasin's massive 22-foot superpipe. The race for the cup was strictly between Gretchen Bleiler and Kelly Clark, as today's event would determine the overall Dew Cup winner.

After the first runs, Gretchen Bleiler..]]> 32719 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32714/aguirre+bleiler+take+top+spots+in+superpipe+semi-finals+at+the+winter+dew+tour/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:00:14 PST
Friday afternoon, it was time to hit the pipe at the Winter Dew Tour Championships at Snowbasin Resort in Utah. Gretchen Bleiler came back with a massive Crippler and stellar run to take the win from China's Xuetong Cai in the women's snowboard pipe Semi-Final.

Bleiler's second run was heads above the field of 13 women, and the combination of amplitude and smooth and technical tricks awarded her a 92.25.

Sunny skies and warm weather at Snowbasin made for a spring-like feel at Snowbasin today for a day of superpipe semi-finals at the Winter Dew Tour Toyota Championships.

The ladies took a turn first. Devin Logan scored an 88.00, taking the top spot with a run that was defined by clean execution, huge amplitude and smooth grabs. She started with a straight air, followed by a left 540, flare, straight air, alley-oop 180, and left 720, ending her run with..]]> 32713 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32706/mens+and+womens+snowboard+slopestyle+semifinals+dew+tour+championships/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:36:29 PST

Last year, in my intro, I emphasized the fact that Canada might be my favorite country in the world, for myriad reasons. Well, let me follow up in my second year of covering the Burton Canadian Open Prsented by MINI with an exponentiated sentiment of fondness for our neighbor to the north. You see, my friend Preston Strout and I are staying at a hotel directly across the street from Canada Olympic Park (COP), and when we're done..]]> 32645 http://www.grindtv.com/snow/blog/32644/burton+canadian+open+2012+slopestyle+finals/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:48:10 PST Photos: Jeff Patterson

Per usual, Chas Guldemond and Jamie Anderson were unstoppable at the Burton Canadian Open presented by MINI at COP in Calgary.

The fields were stacked under sunny and windless skies, amassed atop the course built by Planet Snow Design, and I must say that what the pushers accomplished with the little snow they had to work with was nothing short of phenomenal.
