The Winter Dew Tour today announced the schedule of events for its final stop of the inaugural season, the Toyota Championship, held Feb. 19-22 at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort in Truckee, Calif. The world’s top snowboard and freeski athletes, including Shaun White, Torah Bright and Simon Dumont, will compete for the coveted Dew Cup and a share of the $1.5 million prize purse offered in Northstar at the end of the three-stop series.

Leading the series in the snowboard disciplines are top athletes Shaun White, (first in slopestyle and superpipe), Kelly Clark (superpipe) and Spencer O’Brien (slopestyle). White recently took home X Games gold in both disciplines and is looking to be the first Dew Tour athlete to be crowned Dew Cup champion on the Summer Dew Tour and Winter Dew Tour. Key contenders to compete in women’s snowboard slopestyle in Tahoe include recent X Games gold medalist Jenny Jones, and silver medalist O’Brien. In superpipe, X Games silver medalist Scotty Lago will join bronze medalist Mikkel Bang in their attempts to unseat White. X Games gold medalist Torah Bright will be looking for her first Dew Tour win of the season in the superpipe.
