Breckenridge Colorado homes are perfect for young winter athletes such as Colby West as well as buyers with children and grandchildren. Living close to the world-class terrain parks, residents of Breckenridge CO real estate will be on hand to compete and cheer on the world’s top snowboard and freeski athletes during the first stop for the Winter Dew Tour that’s firing up on December 18, 2008 at Breckenridge Ski Resort.
West, who lives in real estate in beautiful Breckenridge, along with the best athletes of the modern free ski and snowboard movement will compete in the games. The Breckenridge Ski Resort and Town of Breckenridge feel privileged to host the amazing talent. Coverage will be aired by NBC, MTV, MTV2, and USA, ensuring action-packed content for the crowds and fans tuning in to the broadcast.
It will most likely be a fight to the finish as they compete for the Dew Cup and $1.5 million prize purse that will be awarded at the end of a three-stop series. Other events will be in January and February in West Dover, Vermont and Lake Tahoe, California.
The incredibly successful AST Dew Tour debuted in 2005 and has been so successful that this inaugural event will kick off Winter AST Dew Tours. The Summer Dew Tour uses a point system based on cumulative points and the Winter Dew Tour will follow a similar plan. Participants appreciate that the event is not just a one-day, one-run moment. It offers the chance find out who is the strongest over the course of an entire season of competition.
The excitement mounts as the snow industry comes together for events like this. It is one of the only contests to offer ski and snowboard Slopestyle and Superpipe for both men and women. Women’s snowboarding has progressed tremendously over the last few years as top female riders push the sport forward. The professional action-sports athletes will compete in skateboarding (vert and park), BMX (vert, Park, and dirt), freestyle motocross, and each Tour stop will also feature a specialty comp. Style and technicality are two reigning characteristics of this year’s freeskier bill.
Even as they compete tooth and nail, snowboarders snowboard with friends. They are quick to encourage one another, congratulate one another, and inspire one another to new tricks. Friendship is strong and so are these athletes.
Come on out and join the fun. Key lifestyle elements include Festival Village with video gaming and interactive events and live cutting-edge music. The Dew Tour partners include Mountain Dew, Toyota, Ball Park, Nike 6.0, PlayStation, Wendy’s and Verizon Wireless.
