SNOWBASIN -- Utah's own Louie Vito reasserted his dominance in the superpipe Saturday at Snowbasin, stringing together four consecutive double-cork tricks for the first time in Winter Dew Tour history on his way to a record-high score and back-to-back Dew Cups in the snowboard superpipe event.
Vito, an Ohio native who now lives in Sandy, trailed Russian phenom Iouri Podladtchikov (nicknamed "I-Pod") by a mere two points in the overall standings heading into Saturday's finals at the Toyota Championships. He earned a record-high 98.00 on his second run after pulling off four consecutive variations of double-cork tricks, which involve two full, head-over-heels flips.
