OGDEN, Utah o– Brita Sigourney of Carmel, Devin Logan of Dover, Vt., and Jen Hudak of Salt Lake City went one, two, three for a U.S. women’s sweep of the halfpipe skiing podium at the Winter Dew Tour on Saturday at Snowbasin in Ogden. Reno’s David Wise led for U.S. men, finishing fourth.

“It feels awesome to win,” said Sigourney. “It’s the last stop for me and to go out with a win is just a really good feeling.”

Sigourney won thanks to a run that included a 900, a 540, an alley-oop 540 and a 720.

In a heated men’s competition, the day’s halfpipe wasn’t just about a win, but an overall Dew Tour title as well. France’s Kevin Rolland and Simon Dumont (Bethel, ME) had gone back and forth throughout the year for the leader’s position, but it was Roland who ultimately took not only the title, but the win for the day as well.
