The Freeride World Tour is a five-stop international journey, featuring world-class venues with Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Golden BC as the third stop – the ONLY stop in North America! The competition will be held 1 day between February 7th-13th.
Venue Information
Competition will be held on the legendary Ozone Face of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Spectators will be able to watch some of the world’s best ski and snowboard athletes compete in North America’s gnarliest inbounds terrain. Viewing locations will be accessed on skis or snowboard only and will require confidence in advanced terrain. They can choose to get up close and personal by watching from the event village located in the bowl at the bottom of the competition venue, or get a stunning panoramic view from the opposing face or ridge. Either way it will be incredible on-snow entertainment with high speeds, big drops, and sketchy landings, all with a helicopter buzzing around to capture the live footage. You have to see it to believe what these athletes can do on their skis and snowboards.
Live Stream
Competition will be streamed on FWT website & FWT Facebook page. Anyone can access and it is free. A couple of days after the competition, full replay will also be available online, as well as top runs and highlights.
– Watch from the comfort of your home –
