First Dew Tour Event to Take Place at Copper Mountain Feb. 6-9, 2020
We knew it was coming, but the where and when details were missing. Not anymore. After a decade plus in Breckenridge, the Winter Dew Tour is packing up and headed down the road. Literally.
Mountain Dew and Adventure Sports Network Group (ASNG), along with Copper Mountain, a POWDR resort, announced recently that the annual Winter Dew Tour ski and snowboard competition and festival will be hosted at Copper Mountain in 2020 and 2021.
“Physically, our move is just down the road in Colorado, but we feel the Dew Tour will take on new life at Copper, which has long been a preferred destination for elite action sports athletes,” said Courtney Gresik, vice president and general manager of Dew Tour.
Cooper Mountain is no stranger to hosting massive ski and snowboard events as they host the U.S. Grand Prix every year. And they are getting even better as they are in the midst of a $100M mountain experience transformation. However, Copper’s commitment to empowering and inspiring the next generation of action sports athletes spans over multiple decades with its year-round Woodward facilities and event programming.
“Copper, and its parent company POWDR, truly get the vision of Dew Tour, which is to bring together the world’s best skateboarders, snowboarders, skiers, artists, brands and fans in a celebration of creativity and style,” said Gresik. “Copper is well-seasoned in hosting world-class events, including the annual U.S. Grand Prix and the USASA Nationals. Athletes know Copper Mountain and the quality of its parks and pipe. We are ready to get started on taking the event to a whole new level in terms of event progression and service to the athletes and fans.”
The four-day winter Dew Tour will include the world’s best male and female skiers and snowboarders competing in individual halfpipe, slopestyle and para snowboard competitions, Dew Tour’s signature Team Challenge competition, industry award shows, a special invitational competition and a calendar of fan-based activities. Spectators will have a front row seat to the action out of Copper’s Center Village where the event footprint, sponsor activations and Team Challenge will take place. Slopestyle will be held in Copper’s Central Park, an elite-level mountain park facility, and the Halfpipe events will conveniently sit just above the base of Center Village. The Dew Tour festival experience will include live music on the Dew Tour main stage as well as a sponsor village, pro athlete photo-ops, poster signings and more. As always, Dew Tour is free and open to the public.
