Men's and women's ski events went off in the pipe today at Killington, Vermont on day two of the second stop of the Winter Dew Tour. The ladies started off the day with a tribute to Sarah Burke, as they all took a lap through the pipe together and ended in a huddle before dropping in for the official start of Women's Ski Superpipe Semi-Finals.


Vermont local Devin Logan finished first with a run that included big amplitude, solid grabs and smooth flow. She started it off with a huge straight air mute grab, to a left 540 tail, to flair, to big straight air, to alley oop and capped it off with a left 7 for a top score of 86.75 on her second run, with Brita Sigourney right behind her in second and Maddie Bowman in third. The top six women are advancing to tomorrow's final.



Later in the day, Men's Ski Superpipe Semi-Finals went off under the lights, providing exciting action for a mass of spectators. Wing Tai Barrymore took the top spot with a super stylish and smooth run that began with a huge left 9 tail, to alley-oop double flat spin, to left 5 truck, and ended with a right 9 leading mute to huge left 9 mute. His score of 87.50 blew away the competition, with Gus Kenworthy and Torin Yater-Wallace coming in second and third, respectively.


The top nine will advance to compete in finals tomorrow afternoon, where they'll meet Kevin Rolland, Justin Dorey and Duncan Adams, who are pre-qualified to finals after their podium finish at the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado.



Men's Ski Slopestyle Semi-Finals was scheduled to take place today as well, but was re-scheduled until tomorrow due to high winds on the slopestyle course. Stay tuned to Newschoolers for more daily updates from the second stop of the Winter Dew Tour in Killington, Vermont.
