Here’s the official first look at the 2023 winter Dew Tour competition schedule and athletes to watch coming to Copper Mountain, Colorado, February 24 – 26, 2023. This year, fans will enjoy a weekend of front-row action for every Winter Dew Tour competition, as the entire event will be accessible from the base area at Copper’s Center Village.
More than 60 of the world’s top athletes will compete in men’s and women’s individual ski and snowboard Superpipe, a newly reinvented Super Streetstyle and a new Superpipe High Air & Best Trick Jam presented by U.S. Air Force, which will be open to all Dew Tour competitors. The Super Streetstyle competitions will be held in the evening under the lights on Saturday and Sunday night. An integral part of the weekend is the Dew Tour Experience, a sponsor festival area featuring fun and interactive activities for fans, including athlete signings, giveaways, contests and more. As always, Dew Tour is FREE and open to the public.
The Superpipe competitions will be held on Copper’s legendary halfpipe, logging in at 500’ feet long and 22 feet high. Individual Superpipe competitions will be finals only, and each athlete will compete in a best of three runs format.

Men’s Ski
The podium from Winter Dew Tour 2021 returns this year to fight for gold: Alex Ferreira (USA), Aaron Blunck (USA), and Brendan Mackay (CAN).
Dew Tour’s signature Streetstyle event gets an exciting uplift for 2023. With the course doubling in size, this year’s competition is more appropriately renamed Super Streetstyle. The more technical course layout allows for a larger, more diverse athlete pool and gives onsite fans an improved spectator experience. The course, now approximately 450 feet long, will include four unique features, all with varying elements, including rails, poles, a quarterpipe, multiple transfers, and more. Two rounds of heated jam sessions will pare down the field to a three-athlete finals competition in a two runs-combined format.
Who to Watch:
Men’s Snowboard
Luke Winkelmann (USA) and Red Gerard (USA) who are both aiming for a three-peat Dew Tour win.
Women’s Snowboard
Midwestern superstar Alexis Hernandez-Roland (USA) who will be defending their win from Winter Dew Tour 2021, with Jill Perkins (USA) ready to mix up the competition.
