Many thanks to the 30,000 fans who represented a winter Dew Tour record crowd this past weekend at Snowbasin resort. The entire weekend was spirited by good times and of course, big air. To kick off the weekend, Ski Utah and our good friends at Freeskier threw a party in Ogden, complete with the Yeti. Click here for photos of the Yeti out late.

Ski Utah and Ride Utah bellied up to the superpipe to capture each athlete’s style and amplitude with a single snap. Enjoy, these sick photos shot on Super Saturday at Snowbasin.

Local Utah riders produced for the huge crowds. Tom Wallish, of Park City, claimed the top podium spot in the men’s freeski slopestyle while Jen Hudak, of Salt Lake, and Sage Kotsenburg, of Park City, placed second in the women’s freeski superpipe and men’s snowboard slopestyle respectively.
