Swatch Freeride World Tour 2017 Riders' Announcement Press Release SWATCH FREERIDE WORLD TOUR 2017 RIDERS’ ANNOUNCEMENT – THE OFFICIAL ROSTER OF RIDERS FOR THE 2017 TOUR IS NOW AVAILABLE! Lausanne, Switzerland – September 22, 2016 – The complete list of finest riders on the world’s premier competitive freeride tour is now available. Get the first glimpse of the world’s top athletes that will be participating on the 10th edition of the five-stop FWT at www.freerideworldtour.com. The competition will be even more intense this year as the most promising generation of up-and-coming talent from the Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) will showcase their skills against the top riders of the elite tour. The 2017 season will continue the saga of progression in the sport as established riders attempt reinvent their game and retain their throne or face relinquishing it to the next generation of freeriders. Snowboard Women Anne-Flore Marxer (SUI/FRA) will once again be hungry for the title of world champion as she presses Elodie Mouthon (FRA) and attempts to recapture the world title. Returning American star Shannan Yates (USA) will have to use her experience to defend against the tenacity of the incoming riders Audrey Hebert (CAN) and Manuela Mandl (AUT). Ski Women This year could be ripe for a shake-up as longstanding champions like Eva Walkner (AUT) and Jackie Paaso (USA) face intense competition from FWQ skiers Elisabeth Gerritzen (SUI) and Kylie Sivell (CAN). Fresh on the FWT last year but finishing strong, Arianna Tricomi (ITA) is also to be watched. Snowboard Men An established American presence will be felt again this year with the likes of Ralph Backstrom (USA) and Sammy Luebke (USA) posing a formidable challenge to younger European riders like Thomas Feurstein (AUT) and French sensation Camille Armand (FRA). Ski Men All eyes will be on the rising star, Logan Pehota (CAN), who was narrowly edged out of top spot on the podium by returning champion, Loïc Collomb-Patton (FRA) on the 2016 FWT. The question remains: can the upcoming posse of crossover FWT riders like Carl Renvall (SUI) and Sam Lee (NZL) oust these experienced champions? Stay tuned to www.freerideworldtour.com and FWT social media channels for up-to-date competition information and news about FWT riders.

    Tatry mountain resorts, a.s Freeride elite heading for Mt. Chopok MT. CHOPOK (21st February 2016) – The legendary freeride CGC Jasná Adrenalin race is taking place on Mt. Chopok for the 14th time already. However, this will be the first time that the top-class competition from the most beautiful freeride gullies in Slovakia will be broadcast live. The live streaming begins on Friday 26th February at 10:00am on www.jasna.sk or on www.jasnaadrenalin.sk. 80 participants from 17 countries can enjoy 0.5 to 1.5 metre of natural snow in a terrain with a 35-53-degree inclination and a vertical drop of 400 metres. CGC Jasná Adrenalin is part of the Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) tour organised according to extreme skiing competition rules for the seventh time in a row. Racers with the highest number of points qualify for another Freeride World Tour (FWT) series, which ends in Verbier, Switzerland in April. The organisers know that the weather will guarantee another dose of natural snow next week and the racers will have a chance to enjoy sun as well as beloved powder. “We are happy that the race has a strong tradition and new snow is falling on the northern side of Mt. Chopok in the valley of Luková. The event has managed to keep its 4-star status again. We hope the spectators will enjoy it not only at home in front of their screens but also live in the public area at the upper station of the Rovná Hoľa chairlift in the area of Konský Grúň.

  • The 2017 Fwt Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Staged in Vallnord
    Press Release THE 2017 SWATCH FREERIDE WORLD TOUR CHAMONIX-MONT- BLANC STAGED IN VALLNORD-ARCALÍS, ANDORRA GOES OFF UNDER SUNNY SKIES Fifty of the world’s best skiers and snowboarders finally competed in a spectacular event that was rescheduled due to snow safety concerns in the French Alps. February 15, 2017 – Vallnord-Arcalís, Andorra – Brilliant sunshine marked the competition originally destined to be the season opener for the 2017 Swatch Freeride World Tour in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France. After rescheduling the original event due to snow safety concerns caused by high winds in the French Alps, fifty riders were able to participate in their second event in two weeks at the same ski area in the Pyrenees. Conditions were challenging for both riders and organizers. Snowfall over the last week brought fresh accumulations to the face and changeable weather resulted in a slight crust forming on the snow surface, making turning conditions variable in some parts of the venue. Despite these challenges and with the aide of the sun which softened the snow during the day, the athletes demonstrated their finest freeriding skills on the Baser Negre venue, situated at 2700m in the Andorran ski resort of Vallnord-Arcalís. SNOWBOARD MEN Snowboard men opened the day and perhaps no one rode better in the category than Jonathan Penfield (USA), who was nudged into fourth place after his stunning line featuring creative transfers succumbed to a mid-venue fall. First place was awarded to Christoffer Granbom (SWE) for his fluid run that seemed to touch on all of the finest features of the face.
