The day after "prepping" boards for the Olympics, it was off to Mt. Snow, VT, for the final stop the Dew Tour.  Apologies, this was the only shot i got from VT.  Super busy at this one, and not only did the athletes kill (-Jamie Anderson taking the overall Championship for Women at the Dew Tour, Torstein Horgmo winning Men's Slopestyle, and JJ Thomas continuing his onslaught and winning Mens Halfpipe!), but everyone involved and working on the Dew Tour did a great job!  Seems to get better each season!
