The snow continued to fall at Breckenridge Resort all morning as the six ladies took to the slopestyle course for the Dew Tour Nike 6.0 Open finals. Reigning Dew Cup Champ Jamie Anderson, swept the field as the only US rider placing first with a score of a 93 on her first run. Her solid run with two 360's, and a backside 180 to switch backside 180 held through almost 10 points more than any other girl.

Volcom rider Cheryl Maas from the Nederland's snatched up third with a score of 70 with a run containing a backside 7 indy. The speed remained a factor while on the girls second runs no one was able to land a complete run. The newest Burton rider, Enni Rukajärvi from Finland placed fourth scoring a 52.25, Rebecca Torr from New Zealand fifth with a 41.75 and Klaudia Medlova in sixth. Congrats to all of the ladies!
