December 22, 2011 - ESPN - This year’s female Winter Dew Tour schedule has been changed due to the amount of participants in the previous years. Traditionally, the Dew Tour consisted of three stops for both men and women. However, as put by the Dew Tour manager, "Since not a lot of the elite-level girls competed in all three stops, we felt going to two stops would provide a less-demanding schedule and more of an opportunity to get the best athletes there, and give them a better opportunity to win the Cup." Professional female snowboarder, Jamie Anderson, doesn’t “think it’s going to 'progress the sport' by taking away events from the women.” –G.W. |
