Ferreira Wins Dew Tour, Marking Perfect Season
Alex Ferreira did what no other freeskier has done before, winning seven out of the seven halfpipe events on Saturday. He took his seventh victory at the men’s freeski superpipe at the 2024 Dew Tour to cement his place in the record books, lacing together the most dominant season in freeski history.
Along with a perfect World Cup season where he won all five events he entered, Ferreira’s X Games victory in February put him in the position to accomplish the 7/7 feat. With history on the line, Ferreira dropped into the Dew Tour superpipe under sunny skies and in front of a crowd of excited fans hoping to witness the seemingly impossible.
Ferreira seemed to have history locked in after only run one, scoring a huge 92.66, ending with his signature pole swing. But in typical Ferreira fashion, he had more tricks up his sleeve and one-upped himself on run two, scoring a 94.33 in what would ultimately be the history-making run.
“The season started with a dub and ended with a dub,” said Ferreira, “I can’t believe it, perfect season? I’m in awe and just so grateful. Best day of my life.”
Ferreira was unable to land a double-cork 18 on his final run, a trick that has never been done in freeski halfpipe competition, but the attempt left an impression, showing he has no signs of slowing down heading into the 2024-25 season.
2013 Dew Tour freeski slopestyle champion Nick Geopper earned his first Dew Tour halfpipe podium with a second place finish, scoring a 91.00 to put him just behind teammate Ferreira. Sporting his signature pair of Lucky jeans, Geopper debuted a new final hit to earn himself a spot on the Dew Tour podium to end his highly anticipated comeback season.
Stifel U.S. Freeski Team teammates Hunter Hess, Tristan Feinberg and Dew Tour legend David Wise joined Ferreira and Goepper in the field of eight competitors. Hess finished fifth, Feinberg landed in sixth and Wise rounded out the field in eighth.
