Athletes such as Simon Dumont, Kelly Clark, Shaun White, Hannah Teter, Danny Davis, and many more will be competing in slopestyle and super pipe compeitions over three days.
While the action takes a break fans can check out the Festival Village right in the Carinthia Base Area. The Village features sponsor booths, interactive games, athlete autograph signings and tons of free goodies.
Look for a Verizon Wireless Concert announcement in the upcoming months as well as confirmed athletes attending the last major competition before the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler.
Other Dew Tour stops include Breckenridge, Colorado in December and Snow Basin, Utah in January.
Stay tuned for more information on competition and TV schedules.
The Winter Dew Tour and the Toyota Championships is produced in part by a grant from the Dover Economic Development Committee.
