The finals of the Dew Tour, set for Feb. 5-7, is the crowning jewel of the three-stop tour and athletes will be throwing down for a piece of the $1.5 million cash purse and the Dew Cup. Athletes such as Simon Dumont, Danny Davis, Torstein Horgmo, Bobby Brown, JF Houle, Scotty Lago and many more will be competing in slopestyle and super pipe competitions over three days.
While the action takes a break, fans can check out the Festival Village right in the Carinthia Base Area. The Village features sponsor booths, interactive games, athlete autograph signings and tons of free stuff.
