In his first major career title, local freeskier Bobby Brown won the men’s slopestyle finals and veteran freeskier Tanner Hall won the men’s superpipe finals Saturday in the first stop of the inaugural Winter Dew Tour in breckenridge, CO.

The seventeen-year-old Brown, of Breckenridge, drew gasps from the crowd with his progressive tricks on the slopestyle course, which included a switch misty 1080 to a switch double rodeo 900 off the jumps. He finished with a rodeo 450 off the rail.

“The day before in training I was working on that switch double rodeo and I was freaking out while I was upside down, and somehow I came onto my feet, so I was just super stoked about that,” Brown said. He finished with a score of 90.50
New Zealand’s Josiah Wells (89.50) was second, followed by Henrik Harlaut, of Sweden, at 85.67.

Olympic gold medalist Shaun White won the men’s snowboard slopestyle competition and Spencer O’Brien won the women’s event Friday in the first stop of the inaugural Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge, CO.

The 22-year old White scored a 95.17 on his second run, which began with a frontside 270 at the top rail, a frontside 1080 on the first jump to a backside 900. He finished with an impressive 1260, a three and a half revolution spin, on the bottom jump.

“I knew I could do it, I just kind of believed in that spin at the end there,” White said. “I didn’t really practice it at all, but for some reason I knew I had it.”
Mikkel Bang of Norway was second at 92.33 and Janne Korpi of Finland placed third at 86.17.
