The Freeride Guide

The third event of the season saw the FWT make its way to the country of Georgia for the very first time and this event was the cut! We saw

Victor de le Rue win his third consecutive event and Marcus Goguen tie the record for the highest scoring run. The ski women suffered a lot of crashes and the Ski Men had 7 men score in the 90's

The second event of the FWT season saw the tour return to Canada at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, BC Canada. The comp couldn't be held on the OZONE face as intended due to poor conditions and was switched to T1 South, the same face as 2022. As expected the riders did their thing including another level unlocked by a Ski Women's competitor.

Stan Rey has been announced as a Wildcard! Mark and Derek are discussing the Injury and Wildcard updates coming from the FWT ahead of the Kicking Horse Golden Pro event next week.

We've learned that Simon Perraudin and Taylor Dobbins have been forced to withdrawal because of injury. Due to personal reasons, Justine Dufour Lapointe won't be competing at her home event in Canada this year.

Mark meets up with Stan on Whistler Blackcomb for a chairlift chat about what he expects from the event and if he thinks he's ready. He even has some important news of his own!

Stan was showing fellow Ski Men's competitor, Tenra Katsuno, around the mountain and we also chat with Tenra to help you get to know him better heading into Kicking Horse.
