Torstein Horgmo Is Tops at Slopestyle; White Wins Dew Cup at Tahoe

Torstein Horgmo scored a decisive win Friday at the Men's Slopestyle Finals at Northstar-At-Tahoe's Toyota Championship, the final stop of the 2009 Winter Dew Tour. Horgmo's 93.50 was almost four points better than second-place Shaun White's 89.67. Local rider Chaz Guldemond finished in third with an 88.00.

White's second-place finish was enough to earn him the Dew Cup. He finished the season with 280 points, thanks to two second-place finishes and one win at Mount Snow.

"I was hoping to be up there with the Dew Cup in hand and drop in and have a fun run, and that's kind of what happened," White said.

The Dew Cup win means White is the only athlete to win a Dew Cup in both the summer and winter, matching his summer and Winter X Games gold medals. Of course, few athletes have the crossover potential that White does, so the feat is one likely to go unmatched for years to come.

Action continues throughout the weekend with the superpipe finals. Find out more at the official Winter Dew Tour site.
