The four-day winter Dew Tour will include the world’s best male and female skiers and snowboarders competing in individual Modified Superpipe, Slopestyle and Para Snowboard competitions, Dew Tour’s signature Team Challenge and Streetstyle competitions, industry award shows and a calendar of fan-based activities. Spectators will have a front row seat to the action out of Copper’s Center Village where the event footprint, sponsor activations and Team Challenge will take place. Slopestyle will be held in Copper’s Central Park, an elite-level mountain park facility, and the Modified Superpipe and Streetstyle events will conveniently sit just above the base of Center Village. The Dew Tour festival experience will include live music on the Dew Tour main stage as well as a sponsor village, pro athlete photo-ops, poster signings and more. As always, Dew Tour is free and open to the public.
