BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Under a setting sun at the 10th annual Dew Tour on Dec. 13, Torin Yater-Wallace and David Wise would put down some of the best halfpipe runs of their freeskiing careers to take the top two spots on the podium in men’s halfpipe — Wallace in first and Wise in second.

In what appeared to be a battle of one-upmanship, Yater-Wallace took the lead with a huge double cork 1260 on the first hit and landed what is arguably the biggest double flat spin alley-oop ever which moved him into first with a 92.25.

Then Reno’s Wise, who won last weekend’s opening Sprint U.S. Grand Prix, dropped into what he says was “the best run of my life” linking back-to-back 1260 doubles and moved ahead of Wallace with a 94.75.

But it was Wallace’s second run an even bigger frontside 1260 and linked back-to-back alley-oop double corks that would ultimately take the lead and the win with a 95.25. With Wallace and Wise swapping last week’s podium spots it’s’ fair to say that the Wallace-Wise rivalry is back.

Top qualifier, Gus Kenworthy finished just shy of the podium in fourth and Alex Ferreria followed suit in fifth.

1. On the women’s slopestyle course, hometown hero, Keri Herman would reign supreme taking home her first Dew Tour title. Herman’s first run packed with 720s, spinning in all directions landed her on top of the podium just ahead of Emma Dalstrom and U.S. Freeskiing teammate, Julia Krass. Rookie skier Krass landed her second run and with a corked 720 and a solid rail section to step onto her first Dew Tour podium. Slopestyle favorite, Maggie Voisin, fell in her first run and decided to sit out her second.
