HOMECOMING!


DANIA ASSALY

Kristi Leskinen puts on a great event! For the second year now, an all girls contest is put on at Seven Springs, PA, who had a killer park, great jumps, sun and lots of snow! We all had a blast, girls throwing down from misty sevens, to big 9s, to switch 7s and 5s. The buffet meals were extravegent, we shot skeet, and needless to say, aside from skiing, Keri Herman, Jen Hudak, Meg Olenick, and Dania Assaly won for partying. ;)

BRIGHTON, UT


The ladies have been having some awesome days of powder and sunshine park laps in Utah this season. Learning more and more everyday, Utahs Cottonwood mountains allows you to learn to ski the deep stuff and explore easy access back country. With the sunshine 6 out of 7 days a week, you also get to lap Pick and Shovel and Kings Crown at Park City from 9-3:30 everyday! What more can you ask for? With 20 of your closest ski buddies to hot lap with, life doesn't get much better :)When I arrived back from X Games in Aspen, I got to experience some myself! First pow day of the season, and oh how good that felt!!!! Yeah Brighton, how I love thee...

SNOWBASIN DEW TOUR - words from D

As the Modan ladies are all busy KILLIN it in Park City, the Winter Dew Tour stop 2 came through Utah.
We had a blast skiing with some different homies for a few days, lapping through Pick n Shovel and Kings Crown... V Ron gettin her jump on, Molly getting blunted, and Anna cruisin Kings with her Colorado friends in town for Dew Tour! Ange has been nice enough to let me crash on her couch the past week, and has been keeping me positive! Veronica's skiing is looking as hot has her new brown hair, and Molly is waiting for the snow, to get ready for the Freeskiing World Tour stop she is attending in Feburuary!

I went to Snowbasin to compete in the pipe contest! Third day back on snow, and just happy to be rippin around PC with all the MODAN chicas again, I decided to go into this contest with ease, after being out for the past month and a half with a heel bruise. It went well, and through the pain, I had a TON of fun skiing! The boys and girls throwing down, and the people of Utah came out to support their local favorites! Tom Wallisch and a well deserved slopestyle win, Jossi Wells winning Pipe, and Sarah is back on top after being out almost a full season last year! CONGRATS TO YOU ALL! Yeah Tommy, way to kill it on snow and the 4-9 at 4bi9. ;)

Hopefully toward the end of this month and in Feburuary, we will have some edits to put out!

DEW TOUR: BRECK STOP


Mike Riddle, Halfpipe Winner at the Breck Dew Tour

SO! Despite the fact that us ladies were selfishly excluded from the Breckenridge stop of the Tour, it did not stop the boys from absolutely crushing the 18" halfpipe!
So proud of the top 12 guys, (most of whom threw dubs) showing that our sport is still rapidly growing, and there is barely time to catch up if you're behind!
My fellow teammate Banks Gilberti was a busy boy the past few days, making finals in superpipe, and semi finals for slopestyle! With his smooth style, blunt grabs, and stomped landings, Banks made his way up to the top 15 in Slope Semis, and placed 8th in Pipe Finals!! Congrats friend!
Banks Gilberti

Jossi Wells
Winner of superpipe last night was MIKE RIDDLE! My best friend and teammate absolutely KILLED it on his second run, going HUGE, grabbing hard, and stomping doubles! With a 93.00 points, he was the clear winner last night, with the lovely Kiwi, Jossi right behind him, also stomping his first two dubs in contest! So so proud!! The frenchies were on their game as usual too, with Xavier and Rolland coming 3rd and 4th, respectively. Justin Dorey, also going HUGE in this tiny pipe, landing his double first hit to get him into 5th place. SO proud of all the boys!

Justin Doery
Today in Slopestyle finals, Andreas Hatveit took the lead, with Tommy Wallicsh comin in 2nd, and Sammy in third. With most of these boys throwing doubles on two of the three jumps there were, the competition gets tight, and the boys have to be on their game!

Lets use this as inspiration girls! Lets spin more, grab harder and more consistently, and get tricky on rails! Show everyone we can do it too!

Next Dew Tour stop expects to add Women's Freeskiing Superpipe event, with a field of 20 ladies, and a 20,000 dollar purse... Now what do we say to that? As happy as I am, this is only a step in the right direction for this contest, as they have yet to add women's slope. Lets get on this! We have to be treated the same as everyone else, and we still have to make them realize that we are not happy and are expecting more. :) SOON! Let's get'em ;)

Signing out,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! See you in the New year!
