Canadian freestyle skier Karker excited for Dew Tour’s modified superpipe
Rachael Karker has a renewed sense of confidence heading into her second Dew Tour.
Now the Canadian halfpipe skier just has to work on mastering the event’s new modified superpipe layout. And she’s not alone in that regard.
The 21-year-old Karker has been in Breckenridge, Colo., the site of the annual event, for days testing out the brand new course, which includes uncharacteristic jump features before and after the actual pipe.
“I’m not sure how it’s going to go,” Karker said with a laugh in a phone interview with The Canadian Press. “Right now all of us (competitors) are just trying to figure out the best way to use the features effectively.
