With the long, extensive, and hectic Summer Dew Tour just behind us, the athletes in winter clothing are gearing up for the 2008 AST Winter Dew Tour set to kick off on December 18th in Breckenridge, Colorado. Announced yesterday were some of the world's best snowboarders and freestyle skiers who will be competing for the Dew Cup and a piece of that $1.5 million prize purse waiting for them at the end of the three-stop series.
The all star roster reads like the who's who of the modern freeski and snowboard movement, highlighted by multiple X Games and Olympic medalists including snowboard athletes Shaun White, Hannah Teter, Andreas Wiig, Travis Rice and Gretchen Bleiler. Freeskiing superstars Tanner Hall, Sarah Burke and Simon Dumont will join the snowboarders on the impressive roster of athletes.
"I'm thrilled for the start of the Winter Dew Tour this December," said Dumont. "This is just what we need to give skiing the exposure it deserves. We'll have live TV coverage and the resorts chosen are some of the best in the world."
