Louie Vito has taken out the men’s superpipe finals at the Dew Tour event in Killington. Either of his two shots would have put him at the top of the podium but the 93.00 he scored for the run with back to back double corks was the official winning run. Second went to JJ Thomas who said, “If someone lands a double cork and the rest of their run is good, it’s just basic knowledge: they’re gonna beat someone who doesn’t have one, no matter how big you go. That’s just where the sport’s at.”
The women’s competition was taken out by Kelly Clark who also would have won based on either of her runs. Her score of 95.75 on her second run was, according to the ESPN article, “the highest women’s snowboarding pipe score in Winter Dew Tour history.”
