Huntsville, UT - The Winter Dew Tour schedule announced Monday will include Utah's Snowbasin Resort for the second consecutive year.

After its debut at the ski resort near Huntsville last season, the Winter Dew Tour will return to Utah this winter, this time with the Finals being held at Snowbasin. Showcasing top winter athletes competing in freeskiing (slopestyle and superpipe) and snowboarding (slopestyle and superpipe), the Tour will begins at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Breckenridge, Colo., Dec. 16-19, 2010, continues to new host site, Killington Resort in Killington, Vt., Jan.20-23, 2011 and concludes with the Toyota Championship at Snowbasin, Feb. 10-13, 2011. The stops at Killington and Snowbasin will feature 22-foot halfpipes this season.

“I’m stoked that the Winter Dew Tour will have 22-foot pipes this season,” said professional snowboarder, Danny Davis. “The level of riding and amplitude that we can get on the larger pipe makes all of the difference. Fans can expect to see some awesome competitions all season long.”

“We’ve seen tremendous growth over the past two seasons and expect our third to be no different,” said Chris Prybylo, General Manager of the Winter Dew Tour. “Adding Killington and taking the pipe to 22 feet at our final two stops positions us for our best season yet.”

All three stops of the Winter Dew Tour will be televised live on NBC with additional broadcasts on USA Network, MTV2 and Universal HD. In addition, it’s simulcast on Verizon V CAST and around the world on Eurosport 2 and Fox Sports Australia.
