Keep the tally going as U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes Alex Hall (Park City, Utah), Chase Josey (Sun Valley, Idaho) and Toby Miller (Mammoth Lakes, Calif.) claimed an additional three podiums on day three of Dew Tour Saturday in Breckenridge, Colorado. Their podiums bring the count to 13 top-three finishes including the team challenge competitions for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes with one more day of competition to go.

Olympian Chase Josey and Toby Miller grabbed their second consecutive podiums this season at the Dew Tour modified superpipe competition. Josey finished in second place and Miller in third-place while Australian Scotty James topped the podium once again.

Josey claimed his first Dew Tour podium and contributed part of his performance to a successful showing at last week’s Toyota U.S. Grand Prix. “Me, Toby, and Scotty shared the podium at Copper and at this modified halfpipe competition,” said Josey. “I think we were all feeling pretty good after that first week at Copper and then we got to come here and ride very unique and different terrain obstacles. It was low pressure to do the standard halfpipe run and was up to us to be creative and do what we wanted to do.”

Miller, who claimed his first World Cup podium at the Grand Prix also commented on the benefits of a strong performance at Copper Mountain. “I think doing well at the Grand Prix definitely helped me out today,” he said. “I went for the back to back 1260’s and I wouldn’t have been confident here without putting that down in Copper. The number one goal coming into this was to put a full top to bottom run down with creative tricks, big doubles and I did that on my first run, so I couldn’t be happier.”

Run one was the Scotty James and Toby Miller show who were leading in first and second respectively almost a full 30 points ahead of the rest of the field. Moving into the second runs, Josey stepped up his game with a technical run including three back to back switch tricks in the traditional part of the pipe including a switch double Michalchuk. This put Josey ahead of Miller with James holding the lead after his first run. This top three rankings would hold until the end of the competition. Miller and Josey are making habit of finding themselves standing atop the podium. Look for these two athletes to continue their success as the season develops.

In the men’s freeski slopestyle competition it was U.S. Freeski Team member Alex Hall (Park City, Utah) who made it to the podium with a second-place finish. This was Hall’s third top-three finish at this year’s Dew Tour. He earned second with Team Faction in the team challenge competition but finished first in his rail portion, then went on to win the streetstyle competition Friday night followed by his second place in the slopestyle competition. Fair to say that Hall had an incredible week. Previously, Hall had never podiumed at any Dew Tour event.

In the jumps section of the slopestyle program, Hall put down an effortless run for a score of 94, including a seatbelt Japan grab on a huge 1440 which put him in first place. That score would hold and put Hall in a great position moving into the rails portion of the competition. Just like Josey and Miller on the snowboard modified halfpipe competition, Hall capitalized on momentum from prior success earlier in the week.

“This week has been hectic,” said Hall. “I’ve skied every day, all day, for the past six days. I think the streetyle competition was more fun that I have in a long time.”

Anyone watching the Freeski Team Challenge event knows that Hall’s rail game is strong, especially on the Dew Tour course. He had a solid first run, but still was not in the podium contention in the overall rankings until after his second run where Hall jumped to first. Evan McEachran of Canada continued to land consecutive runs scoring in the ’90s and got better as the competition went on.  McEachran finished first, Hall second, and Henrik Harlaut of Sweden finished third in the freeski slopestyle competition.

The final day of competition will continue on Sunday with men’s ski modified superpipe, women’s snowboard modified superpipe and men’s snowboard slopestyle.

A total of six hours of Winter Dew Tour coverage will air on NBC and NBCSN, with DewTour.com live streaming all finals through Sunday, Dec. 16. All finals will stream live on Facebook, Periscope, Twitch, Daily Motion, Youtube, TWSnow.com, Newschoolers.com, Powder.com, adventuresportsnetwork.com, and Snowboarder.com.  The new Dew Tour app will also exclusively offer live scoring in addition to the live stream.

The day started with a love, hate, relationship with the modified superpipe for freeskiers on day two of the Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado. But by the end of the day, Devin Logan (West Dover, Vt.) showed some slopestyle love to court a third-place finish.

“I definitely think I had a little bit of an advantage with all the slopestyle skiing I have done over the years with this modified pipe,” said Logan. “You have the natural pipe in there, but playing with the tombstones and the regular jump landings cater to a slopestyle background. I think my experience helped and we had a lot of fun. I’m stoked to land on the podium.”

Canadians Rachel Karker and Cassie Sharpe finished in first and second respectively. Karker echoed logan statements. “I skied slope for the majority of my skiing career,” she said. “I think the weird angles were a lot easier to handle having some jump experience.”

U.S. Freeski Team members Brita Sigourney (Carmel, Calif.) finished just outside the podium in fourth putting down a very stylish run followed by U.S. Rookie Team members Abigale Hansen (June Lake, Calif.) and Svea Irving (Winter Park, Colo.) in fifth in sixth respectively.

The ladies snowboard slopestyle program followed suit with an exciting contest. U.S. Snowboard Team member and Olympian Julia Marino (Westport, Conn.) finished second, claiming her first ever Dew Tour podium. As this is a non-Olympic year and Dew Tour did not need to serve as a qualifier, there was more flexibility with competition format. Dew Tour organizers chose to divide the slopestyle competition into a jumps and rails, essentially creating two contests for slopestyle athletes and making for a long day on the hill. Luckily the weather was beautiful and the riders pushed the sport once again.

“I actually prefer the rails and jumps all being part of one run,” said Marino. “But this was a nice change, the weather was beautiful and that’s the most important thing. As competitive snowboarders, we always adapt to whatever situation we are given. It was a long day and we are all really tired and it’s a relief it’s over. At the beginning, it was really hard, but I think after a couple practices we all adjusted. This is my first Dew Tour podium so I’m pretty hyped!”

PyeongChang big air gold medalist Anna Gasser of Austria topped the podium and Finland’s Enni Rukajarvi finished in third. In the jumps section, double-gold medalist Jamie Anderson (S. Lake Tahoe, Calif.) made her three-jump combination look stylish and effortless. However, Anderson needed a bit more technicality to compete with Gasser who was firing on all cylinders, linking a backside double cork 1080 and a switch double underflip. Gasser was also the first female snowboarder to land a cab triple underflip in Stubai, Austria this fall.

Anderson looked to step up to Gasser with a double underflip 900 and frontside double cork 1080 combination, but unfortunately, she slid out the last 180 of her 1080 rotation putting her in second leading into the rails competition. Marino finished fourth in the rails section landing her first run but struggling with the backside 720 on her next two runs. Gasser did not slow down though, adding a frontside 900 to the last jump of her final run solidifying her position. In the jumps section, It was Gasser, Norwegian Silje Norendal and Anderson in the top three spots moving into the rails section of the slopestyle program.

Anderson showed her rail prowess right off the bat with a strong run, but it was Marino who would lead the way. Marino started her rail run very smooth with full presses and good speed. She upped the difficulty on her final run landing her in second-place at the end of the rails competition. Enni Rukajarvi from Finland finished first, Marino in second, and Spencer O’Brien from Canada finished in third to close out the rails competition. Marino’s rail performance would put her in second-place overall to finish the slopestyle competition.

As Marino was wrapping up the post-competition press conference, her eye caught Finnish snowboarder Rene Rinnekangas dropping into the modified pipe to kick off the snowboard team challenge competition on a TV in the Dew Tour Press Center. Marino’s excitement for the sport of snowboarding was incredibly refreshing as she spoke out during in a lull in the press conference exclaiming, “Rene is the definition of what it means to be a snowboarder and I love watching him ride. He just has so much fun.” Marino’s statement serves as a reminder that all these athletes are also true fans of the sport.

The team challenge proved to be a great show. Team DC grabbed the win led by Toby Miller (Mammoth, Calif.) in the modified superpipe, the Capita Team took second with U.S. Snowboard Team members Chase Josey (Sun Valley, Idaho) in the modified halfpipe and Nikolas Baden (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) on the slopestyle jumps, while Team Rome took third.

“I’m feeling great to walk away with a win with Team DC,” said Miller. “It's really cool to have this aspect of snowboarding. It’s an individual sport so if you don’t do well, you are the only one who suffers. In the team challenge, if you don’t do well your whole team comes down with you. Mons and Sebbe both had amazing runs to seal the deal for us. My mentality was you have to have creativity and fun and utilize the course, but at the same time, I wanted to make sure I did my traditional halfpipe tricks. I ended up taking second and Chase Josey won with an insane run”

As Miller referenced, there was no lack of creativity and style in the modified superpipe part of the team challenge with Miller throwing a lawn dart front flip on the first feature and Josey with a switch method and a disaster on the coping to close out his run. Not to mention Baden showing full control in the jumps section.

“This is just such a unique and cool course,” said Josey. “It reminds me of Danny Davis’ Peace Park. It’s fun to find new lines and honestly watch everyone else is a good time.”

The last competition of the day would take place right off Main Street under the lights with the snowboard and freeski streetstyle competition. After earning the top score in the Team Challenge Jibs competition for Faction yesterday, Alex Hall (Park City, Utah) clinched the first place finish in his second of three Dew Tour competitions this weekend. Teammate Colby Stevenson (Park City, Utah) claimed second-place. For the snowboarders, Brandon Davis (Mammoth Lakes, Calif.) finished third.

“The course had a good speed, dope rails, and was pretty fun!” said Hall. “I’m in the individual competition tomorrow so I came out just wanting to have fun. It’s so fun skiing with all of our friends and we all just feed off each other to go bigger.”

It was an amazing day two at Dew Tour for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes. Saturday’s schedule including men’s snowboard modified superpipe as well as men’s freeski slopestyle.

Mother Nature is providing an off-week for the FIS Ski Alpine World Cup women, and World Cup Snowboardcross athletes, but the action continues from Italy, Switzerland, France, and China for many U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes. The networks of NBC will provide more than 30 hours of winter sports broadcast and streaming coverage this week for fans to tune in.

The men’s World Cup circuit moves to Val Gardena and Alta Badia, Italy, for three events: super-G, downhill and giant slalom, Dec. 14-16. Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.), who posted a career-best World Cup giant slalom result last week in Val d’Isere, will be one to watch on Sunday in Alta Badia, where he has posted a couple of top-15 results. Olympic champion Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) is hoping to find that nostalgic form once again in Alta Badia where he has picked up numerous top-five results, including victories in 2012 and 2010.

Val d’Isere was slated to host the World Cup women’s speed event this week, however, unfavorable weather conditions have resulted in the event being rescheduled for Dec. 18-19 in Val Gardena, Italy. Downhill training is set for Monday, Dec. 17, and Tuesday morning, Dec. 18, with the downhill race scheduled for the afternoon of Dec. 18. The super-G will follow Wednesday, Dec. 19. The Networks of NBC will broadcast the rescheduled events the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold app.

Following the speed events in Val Gardena, the women’s World Cup circuit moves on to Courchevel, France, for giant slalom and slalom events, Dec. 21-22. Mikaela Shiffrin (Avon, Colo.), fresh off her back-to-back super-G and parallel slalom victories in St. Moritz last weekend, plans to continue her training and not participate in the Val Gardena speed events in order to prepare for a busy upcoming holiday tech schedule that kicks off in Courchevel.

All eyes are on Jessie Diggins (Afton, Minn.) and Sadie Bjornsen (Mazama, Wash.) as the U.S. Cross Country Team heads to Davos, Switzerland, for the second FIS Cross Country World Cup freestyle sprint of the season Saturday, and women and men’s 10k/15k freestyle events Sunday. Diggins just missed the sprint podium the past two season in Davos, finishing fourth last year and fifth in 2016. She has been progressing through the start of the season despite battling a cold, posting an eighth-place 10k freestyle finish last weekend. Bjornsen is currently ninth in the overall World Cup standings thanks to six top-10 results this season, including a third-place freestyle sprint finish in Lillehammer, Norway, two weeks ago. Could we see two Americans on the podium in Davos Saturday? Tune in at 7:20 a.m. (EST) to The Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold app for live coverage Saturday.

Tess Johnson (Vail, Colo.), who finished third in the opening World Cup moguls event of the season last weekend in Ruka, Finland, leads a stacked U.S. Freestyle Team to Thaiwoo, China, for individual and dual moguls events. Both events will be broadcast live on the Olympic Channel and NBC Sports Gold, but due to the 13-hour time difference between China and the Eastern Time Zone in the United States, fans should plan on staying up late Friday and Saturday nights to catch the action beginning at 12:20 a.m. EST.

Kevin Bickner (Wauconda, Ill.), who was fifth in a FIS Continental Cup ski jumping event in Lillehammer, Norway last weekend, will head back to the World Cup tour this weekend at Engelberg, Switzerland. Nita Englund (Florence, Wis.) will compete at the women's World Cup in Pramanon, France.

Fresh off the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix, a number of U.S. Freeski and Snowboard Team athletes head to Breckenridge, Colo., for the Dew Tour this week, with halfpipe, slopestyle jib, and jump events.

This week’s FIS Snowboardcross World Cup in Montafon, Austria, was canceled due to weather. The U.S. Snowboardcross Team will kick off their World Cup season next week, Dec. 20-22 in Cervinia, Italy. With the cancellation, NBC will offer a re-broadcast of the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix snowboard halfpipe finals at 12:00 a.m. EST Wednesday.

The World Cup season opens for AJ Muss (Rumson, N.J.) as well as American Ryan Rosencranz at the FIS Snowboard World Cup parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom events in Carezza, Italy, Saturday and Sunday.
