Anderson wins Winter Dew slopestyle

By U.S. Snowboarding News

KILLINGTON, Vt. – Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe and Norway’s Torstein Horgmo made it two-for-two Sunday as they each pulled in their second Winter Dew Tour slopestyle wins during the Killington stop of the three-part series.

Being undefeated in the men and women’s slopestyle for the 2011 tour puts Anderson and Horgmo in the lead for the overall tour rankings.

“I feel great. I’m really excited,” Anderson said. “This event has been great, and I’m happy to end it with a win. I feel confident heading into the final stop.”

Anderson took the win thanks to an incredible second run that included a blunt on the rail, fifty-fifty frontboard, boardslide switch out and a front 3 mute to give her a score of 91.25.

Canada’s Spencer O’Brien finished second, and New Zealand’s Rebecca Torr followed behind in third.

Horgmo led the way with his first run, putting together a cab 270 to fakie, switch blunt 270 on to switch tailslide 270 out on the up rail, switch frontside double cork 10, switch back 12 and a double cork.

The Dew Tour slopestyle comes on the heels of the sport’s inaugural appearance at snowboard World Championships in La Molina, Spain, on Jan. 22 where Allyson Carroll of Truckee notched a fifth in the competition, which is being considered for Olympic inclusion.
