Winter Dew Tour Snowboard Superpipe Finals at Breckenridge

With the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour halfway over, the men and women competed in the Superpipe finals. Results for the Top 3 are as follows:

Women's SNB SP Finals 1. Queralt Castellet 2. Elena Hight 3. Kaitlyn Farrington

Men's SNB SP Finals 1. Louie Vito 2. Matt Ladley 3. Greg Bretz

The snow storm conditions made the pipe pretty slow, so the tricks were difficult to really throw them down. To add to that, the sound system totally broke down for about 10 minutes, so everyone was scrambling around to get things going. With an odd silence, you don't realize how much the music and announcers add to the event, so be greatful for them. The Toyota Yeti took a run down the halfpipe to keep spectators entertained. And Kevin Pearce made a visit to cheer on and congratulate the riders (he was the one that got the severe brain injury just before the Olympics). Last year's champ, Danny Davis, was also out of the game today due to an injury.

Tomorrow brings the Slopestyle Finals, so there's more to come! I'll try to fit another blog in, in between riding all the new powder...

From our friends over at Ski Butlers...

Whistler, British Columbia...Ski Butlers Whistler Ski Rentals, a locally owned ski and snowboard rental delivery service, worked with members of WinterPRIDE '09 to support the Western Canadian Pediatric AIDS Society, or Camp Moomba. Ski Butlers donated a portion of all sales from every WinterPRIDE member who rented ski or snowboard equipment from them during the annual Gay Ski Week. "This is our second year in business and our second year offering this promotion." said Karin Schulze, owner of Ski Butlers Whistler. "The WinterPRIDE members love the fact that part of their rental price goes towards Camp Moomba, a very important charity."

Established in 1997, Camp Moomba is a specialized summer camp program for kid's age 6--7, who are impacted HIV/AIDS. Many of the children that attend Camp Moomba are confronted by similar issues in their lives. By coming together each year they are able to find the type of support that can only come from understanding

WinterPRIDE is a celebration of diversity and inclusiveness at the resort of Whistler, Canada. This is one of the largest Gay Ski Weeks in the world that offers culinary, health + wellness, and fantastic entertainment both on and off the slopes. We are committed in creating safe and welcoming spaces for the LGBT community and their friends & family. WinterPRIDE celebrated its 17th anniversary in Whistler this year.

"We hope to get more members of WinterPRIDE working with us next year so we can increase the amount given to Camp Moomba," said Ms. Schulze. "Ski Butlers Whistler grows its business, our WinterPRIDE guests get the most convenient Whistler Ski Rentalservice, and Camp Moomba gets greater financial support to help the kids. It's a win, win, win situation!"
