Torin Yater-Wallace dominated the superpipe to claim the 2014 Dew Cup at Breckenridge Mountain.

TYW boosted a monstrous dub 1260 mute, a left 1080 tail, a switch 720 tail, a huge alley-oop double 900 Japan and a double flat 900 Japan.

Men’s slopestyle finals:
From the get-go, men’s slopestyle finals belonged to Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy.

Kenny G’s winning run consisted of a right 270 onto the first handrail, a left 270 on to 450 out on the second rail feature, a double cork 1080 tail, a right 900 opposite tail, a switch left 270 lipslide on to 450 off of the wallride, a switch right 720 Japan on the third jump to a switch double 900 Japan on the final jump.
