Following a full-on powder day, Dew Tour Copper went back into the competition mode on Saturday. Starting the day off was the final of Women's Snowboard Modified Superpipe, which saw eight women arrive at the top of the event to put it all on the line for a chance at being crowned champion.

The leaderboard saw a shuffle in the second set of runs when Liu earned a 92 after a four-hit top to bottom run. Flowing frontside throughout the entire course, a 360 over the channel set her up to 540 off the shark fin, and then she sent a 720 before finishing strong with a Haakon flip in the pipe.

"It was super fun!" said the 27-year-old Chinese laughing after the superpipe event. "I think that is what Dew Tour means. All the features make me really excited. I feel that the most style, how much fun and how smooth you can use all of the features is what counts. It's not just about doing the hardest tricks."
