The first stop of the Winter Dew Tour took place in Breckenridge this past weekend.
Shaun White took first in the slopestyle competition and was positioned to sweep the snowboarding events and take an early lead in the points standings with a first place in superpipe. He had the top qualifying run, so it seemed like he would inevitably find his way to the top of the podium again. But Danny Davis dropped quite a run, as described below:

Shaun White took first in the slopestyle competition and was positioned to sweep the snowboarding events and take an early lead in the points standings with a first place in superpipe. He had the top qualifying run, so it seemed like he would inevitably find his way to the top of the podium again. But Danny Davis dropped quite a run, as described below:
"Standing before the start corral, Danny Davis, with a smile and a wave to the fans, slid his board towards the pipe and popped 180 over the lip. Dropping Switch? Oh shit… he’s about to change up his run in a big way! Danny exploded into one of the hardest tricks out there — a switch backside 720 — and stomped it. The crowd went insane as Danny strung together a backside 900 with back-to-back 1080s (frontside to cab), before blasting the biggest frontside 900 of the day. His packed run earned him a score of 94.75 bumping fellow FREND member Scotty Lago into second place."Davis's run earned him the top run, as he pulled off one of the weekend's biggest upsets.
