Freeride World Tour 2023 Tour Dates Announced

Extremely stoked with the announcement of this seasons’s Freeride World Tour dates and locations. The FWT is celebrating its 16th year with stops in Canada, Spain, Andorra, Austria and Switzerland.  Things will get underway in mid-January with the opening event in Kicking Horse, Golden, BC. 99 days give or take until the best competition in mountain sports returns!

FWT 2023 Calendar Announced

The world’s best freeriders return to the big stage.

• The 16th explosive year of the FWT 
• Five stops: Canada, Spain, Andorra, Austria and Switzerland 
• The two-run format at Fieberbrunn for the second consecutive year 

The Freeride World Tour is proud to announce the calendar for 2023, featuring awe-inspiring freeride destinations around the globe. The world’s best athletes return for the 16th version of this iconic series, ready to push the limits of what’s possible in the high mountains in their quest for the sport’s ultimate prize.

Five stops in five different countries

This year’s schedule boasts five stops in five different countries, with two finals events and a two-run format in Fieberbrunn, where riders’ top score will count towards their result. To up the pressure even more, and to reward those with the nerves – and legs – of steel, 12,500 points for first place (instead of 10,000) will again be up for grabs in the FWT finals events. Who can tame Verbier’s  Bec des Rosses  and Fieberbrunn’s  Wildseeloder  to maximize their chance of being crowned the champ? Time will tell. Until then, let’s check out the world-class venues on offer for FWT23:

Kicking Horse Golden BC, Canada: January 13-18, 2023

Known for its champagne powder and long, steep runs, it’s no wonder Kicking Horse attracts riders from all over the globe. The world’s best will have to shake off any early-season nerves and be on point from the very first turn, as these mountains dish up some classic freeride terrain that is unforgiving for the unprepared.

Baqueira Beret, Spain: January 28 – February 2, 2023

After leaving the scenic Rocky Mountains, the Tour heads across the pond for the European leg. Baqueira Beret will again play host, following the success of last year’s inaugural event at this epic venue. Consistent snowfall and varied terrain make this world-class resort an ideal test for freeride fanatics.

Ordino Arcalís, Andorra: February 4-9, 2023

The third stop of FWT23 heads to Ordino Arcalís, where athletes will have one last chance to rack up the points before the cut. This venue has become a permanent fixture on tour, and for a good reason, with playful terrain offering opportunities for creative freeride lines.

Following the competition in Ordino Arcalís, the CUT will take place. Athletes can qualify using results from two out of the first three events.

Fieberbrunn, Austria: March 11-17, 2023

The first finals event heads to Fieberbrunn, where athletes must navigate the glorious – yet intimidating – Wildseeloder. This mountain is a true test for even the most seasoned pro, and athletes will surely put it all on the line to ensure they have the best shot at the crown.

Xtreme Verbier Switzerland: March 25 – April 2, 2023

The Grand Finale returns to the undisputed home of freeride, the Bec des Rosses at Verbier, Switzerland. Unrideable to most mere mortals, athletes not only tame this beast year after year, but turn it into their playground, consistently combining new line variations with death-defying stunts.

Save the dates, set reminders, book in annual leave, but whatever you do, don’t miss these ever-entertaining showdowns. All events will be broadcast live at  www.freerideworldtour.com  so you don’t miss any action.

The countdown begins to FWT23 but, until then, stay tuned to our socials for updates, and to keep the stoke high until the first flakes of winter start to fall.

Freeride World Tour announces adrenaline-packed calendar

The countdown to the 17th edition of the FWT is underway, with a new presenting sponsor – Peak Performance – and an action-packed calendar that includes an electrifying new stop in Georgia. Last year, we bid farewell to multiple FWT legends, including Aymar Navarro and Reine Barkered, and ushered in the next generation of freeriders that pushed the level to an all-time high. The focus now shifts to what promises to be a scintillating season ahead, with the world’s best freeriders locked in and ready to take on the most challenging – and intimidating – freeride faces around the globe.

This year will include six stops, offering riders four competitions before the cut. Those who rack up enough points will compete in the FWT Finals in Fieberbrunn and Verbier, and fight for the right to be crowned World Champion. Relegated athletes will have the chance to re-qualify for FWT25 via the FWT Challenger series, where they will face off against the top riders from the FWT Qualifiers.

Here’s what’s in store for FWT24…

Stop 1: Baqueira Beret Pro, January 27 - February 1

The FWT kicks off in the Spanish Pyrenees for the third consecutive year, a location that never disappoints with its epic terrain backed up by an incredible local crowd. Competition returns to the Bacivér face, where we’ll get the first glimpse of the new class of rookies, and see if they can hold their own against the established roster and returning champions.

Stop 2: Ordino Arcalís Pro, February 1 - 7

Back-to-back action in the Pyrenees as the FWT moves to neighboring Andorra, where Ordino Arcalís will host the world’s best once again. Riders have been putting their mark on these mountains since 2015, and will be treated to the incredible venue of the Pic de les Planes, a creative big mountain haven with all the ingredients needed for playful, freeride action.

Stop 3: Kicking Horse Golden BC Pro, February 14 - 20

The tour then heads across the Atlantic to North America, returning to the ever-consistent snowpack of British Columbia, Canada. The competition is always intense at Kicking Horse Golden BC, which has hosted the world’s best since 2018. Action will likely be held on the formidable Ozone face, an extreme venue providing ample opportunities for riders to send it large.

Stop 4: Georgia Pro, March 1 - 7

Nestled at the intersection of Europe and Asia, Georgia will host the last stop before the cut, and the ultimate chance for riders to qualify for the FWT Finals. Georgia boasts a rich tapestry of traditions and a culture renowned for its hospitality, as well as the imposing Caucasus Mountains, which contain multiple peaks over 5,000 meters. The country has successfully hosted FWT Qualifier events during the last two seasons, demanding the attention of the international ski community. Both Tetnuldi and Mestia have emerged as prominent freeride destinations, offering vast big mountain terrain that enjoys copious amounts of snowfall over the winter months.

The Cut will be after stop four, before the final two events that make up the FWT Finals. Athletes can qualify using their three best results from the first four events.

Stop 5: Fieberbrunn Pro, March 12 - 18

After the inaugural event in Georgia, the best of the best will head to Austria for the first FWT Final, a location that has been a tour mainstay since 2013. Competition returns to the ever-impressive Wildseeloder face, a truly intimidating big mountain venue, where riders will enjoy a two-run format to impress judges in their bid for the title.

Stop 6: YETI Xtreme Verbier, March 23 - 31

A freeride theater that needs no introduction, the Grand Finale – as always – will be held on the iconic Bec des Rosses in Verbier. Dangerous snow conditions forced the event to be canceled last season, but the FWT is ready to return to a place it has called home since 1996, and where the next four world champions will be crowned.

Lock in these dates to watch the best freeride athletes push each other to the limits in the high mountains. The roster will be announced soon, so stay tuned to FWT social channels and www.freerideworldtour.com to keep up with all the latest news.

FWT Announces Venues & Dates for Coming Season

Last modified on October 20th, 2023

This year will include six stops including an event in Georgia in March.

Riders have four events, including Georgia, before the cut.

About the FWT

FWT Management SA is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and has been premier sports events in mountain resorts since 1996.

The company founded the Xtreme Verbier, an iconic event in freeride skiing and snowboarding.

In 2008, it turned this single competition into a prestigious series of worldwide events, called the Freeride World Tour (FWT).

The company has since grown to include multiple competition series that fall under the FWT brand – including FWT Challenger, FWT Qualifier and FWT Junior – with events across all formats taking place in Europe, North America, South America and Oceania.

2023 Is Going to Be the Year of the Rookie Challenger on the Freeride World Tour

The fwt just released its 2023 athlete roster. here's who we have our eyes on..

This morning, the Freeride World Tour raised the stoke levels a notch by announcing their list of 2023 competitors. The roster comprises FWT veterans and exciting newcomers, all set to shake up the battle for the 2023 title.

This season’s athlete list, in particular, illustrates a multi-year shift in rider demographics on the Tour. For years, career Tour athletes who stuck around for five or even 10 years dominated the podium and start list. A few seasons back, this status quo began to shift thanks to a new cadre of ripping up-and-comers. If you peek at the 2023 roster, you’ll notice that many riders are either newcomers or recent additions to the Tour.

During this season’s upcoming FWT, we’ll have a chance to witness these skilled young guns turned pros give it all they’ve got on the world stage; but don’t expect the old guard to go down easy. Here are the returning vets and new additions we’re most excited to watch this coming season.

Reine Barkered

Category: Ski Men Status: Veteran Country: Sweden Age: 40

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reine Barkered (@reinebarkered)

I know I just said that the future of freeride is with the youth, but you can’t talk about the FWT without mentioning Reine Barkered. The man’s got absurd longevity. The 40-year-old made his first appearance on the FWT in 2008 (that’s 14 years ago for those who don’t want to do the math). Since then, he’s snapped up multiple titles and top-five finishes. His legacy is already apparent—an enormous cliff on the Verbier FWT venue bears his name.

Barkered’s been on the FWT for more than a decade, giving him accumulated wisdom absent in younger riders. He’s intimately familiar with each venue and will bring a calculated yet explosive style to every competition face. Anticipate Barkered showing the young guns how it’s done on more than one occasion.

Category: Ski Men Status: Rookie Country: Austria Age: 20

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Max Hitzig▪️Skier (@maxhitzig)

In many ways, Max Hitzig is the polar opposite of Barkered. At 20 years old, Hitzig is half Barkered’s age. You’d be forgiven for thinking that Hitzig’s lack of experience presents a disadvantage, but you’d also be wrong. Hitzig combines the precision of a seasoned FWT rider with the tenacity of someone looking to make a name for himself.

On paper, Hitzig is a rookie as he’s never officially competed on the FWT. However, event organizers tossed him a wildcard slot last season for Fieberbrunn, an opportunity Hitzig took full advantage of by grabbing first place amidst a stacked field.

At Fieberbrunn, he displayed his complete suite of freeride talent: clean skiing, precise line selection, and a deep bag of tricks. While Hitzig doesn’t have a ton of experience under his belt (last season was his first time in the start gate), he’s already established himself as a contender for the FWT title.

Xander Guldman

Category: Ski Men Status: Rookie Country: U.S. Age: 24

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Xander Guldman (@xanderfire)

Xander Guldman followed a unique path to the FWT. As a junior, he competed on both the IFSA and JFT junior circuits, where he developed into an impressive freeride force known for technical lines and massive 360s. Then, after aging out of the juniors, he took a break from competing altogether.

Last season, on a whim, Guldman decided to throw his hat back in the ring, ultimately qualifying for the 2023 FWT. I’m thankful that Guldman opted to give the start gate another try, and as a viewer, I expect you’ll be, too. These days, the American is one part mountain goat and one part acrobat, peppering consequential terrain with quick tricks, making him uniquely prepared to find success on the FWT. Check out this video from last season, and you’ll know what I mean.

Manon Loschi

Category: Ski Women Status: Rookie Country: France Age: 20

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manon Loschi (@manon_loschi)

Manon Loschi proves that the women’s start list, like the men’s start list, is set to be rocked by a crew of newcomers. At 20 years old, Loschi’s already grabbed the attention of industry titans like K2 and Peak Performance. These sponsorships are well deserved, as evidenced by her equally fluid and aggressive style, which includes tweaked shiftys, smooth nose butters, and stomped backflips. As a fan of the FWT, I’ve long waited for the presence of riders who can mix old-school freeride know-how with new-school stunts. Loschi fits this bill and then some—stay tuned for aerial wizardry from the French rider.

Jess Hotter

Category: Ski Women Status: Veteran Country: New Zealand Age: 29

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jess Hotter (@jesshotterski)

Jess Hotter had a banner season last year, grabbing two first-place finishes, a second-place finish, and the overall title. Hotter’s success as a rookie during the 2022 FWT likely came as no surprise to those in the know. She cut her teeth on the qualifying circuit for years, and she’s from New Zealand, a country known for producing top-tier freeriders.

Hotter’s excellent line selection skills, impressive technique, and her hard-won experience last season means she everything she needs to defend her title this season. If her Instagram is any indication, Hotter intends to augment her extensive freeride skills with some tricks of her own, clearly taking advantage of that southern hemisphere winter to dial in an array of stunts.

Sybille Blanjean

Category: Ski Women Status: Rookie Country: Switzerland Age: 22

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Freeride World Tour (@freerideworldtour)

Sybille Blanjean, like Manon Loschi, spent little time in the qualifiers. In 2018, she graduated from the junior circuit before spending a short three years on the FWQ. Starting last season, she was officially part of the big leagues. Many riders spend over five years on the FWQ before fighting their way onto the Tour. Not Blanjean.

Blanjean’s rookie season on the FWT was promising. She held her own throughout, stacking solid middle-of-the-pack runs, which led to her clinching a spot in the finals. However, things kicked into a different gear in Verbier, Switzerland, with Blanjean putting down a winning run in puckering steep terrain—a poetic conclusion to the season for the Swiss skier and an indicator that Blanjean’s ready to take a crack at the overall title in 2023.

Amidst this excitement of fresh faces and new challengers, you may notice that a few fan favorites won’t be returning. On the women’s side, Hedvig Wessel has opted to step away from the FWT this upcoming season to focus on personal projects. While her backflips will be sorely missed, the FWT reports that she may return for a one-off as a wildcard at one of this seasons events. On the men’s side, big sender Aymar Navarro unfortunately won’t appear in the start gate in 2023, unless he’s offered a wildcard.

We’re about three months from the FWT’s kick-off in 2023, which will be broadcast free on Youtube and the official FWT website . Stay tuned to SKI’s Competitions channel for more coverage as we inch closer to the first drop of the season.
