The Winter Dew Tour Toyota Championship at Snowbasin went big

The Dew Tour 22-foot superpipe at Snowbasin

This year the Dew Tour went big when they came with the 22-foot superpipe!

Last weekend we had the chance to go up to the third and final stop of the Winter Dew Tour Toyota Championship at the Snowbasin, Sun Valley Resort, in Ogden Utah. 
This year they went big with a 22-foot superpipe.  We are a family of skiers and snowboarders, and while a 22-foot superpipe may sound like it’s a big pipe and it even looks huge in pictures, that is all nothing in comparison to standing at the foot of the gigantic pipe!  Unbelievable how they put this all together and unreal how they ride it!  Along the sides of the pipe they went out and carved steps into the snow, it was crazy how much went into the making of this.
This is the second time they have come here and our second time making the trip up to see it in action.  It is awesome to see all these winter athletes from around the world coming here to compete in some serious freeskiing and snowboarding! 
We snapped some shots and I thought it was very necessary to share.

Here are some shots of Kelly Clark, the girls did awesome but Kelly went bigger and higher for sure!



If only you could see just how high up that is!




They have stands set up in a sectioned off area where they promote sell and give away good stuff, we went over to check it ou and I had to take a picture of this, who thinks up this stuff!   A snowboard you can ride with built in music!
Please keep in mind that this article represents my own expression and not that of any one else, I did not receive payment for this aritcle.
