Freeride World Tour Announces Big Changes, Including 2022 Wild Card Entries

Great news for fans of big mountain skiing: The Freeride World Tour is on for 2022, and this year’s competitions are shaping up to be bangerang.

Last season, the freeskiing competition that traditionally has the best freeride skiers and snowboarders traveling the world to compete in big mountain skiing hit multiple major roadblocks caused by the pandemic. The first two scheduled stops of the 2021 Tour in Hakuba, Japan and Kicking Horse, B.C. had to be cancelled, as those countries were still shuttered to international athletes; then crazy weather like a Saharan sandstorm and unseasonably warm temps caused multiple schedule changes for the two remaining competitions.

While the FWT was, miraculously, able to pull off the 2021 Verbier Championship competition, FWT fans can agree that last year’s Tour left us wanting for more.

And this year, we’re bound to get it (unless, of course, Covid gets in the way again). The FWT has a few exciting changes in store for us in 2022, including a new European venue and updated competition format. But the biggest headline might be the announcement that American pro skier Lexi DuPont will be joining this year’s Tour as a Wildcard athlete.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Freeride World Tour.

FWT Athlete Roster

Due to the pandemic and long-term injuries, we didn’t get to see some of our favorite skiers compete on the Tour last season, but we’re happy to announce that the 2022 roster highlights a stacked field of talent. That includes defending champions Kristofer Turdell from Sweden and Switzerland’s Elisabeth Gerritzen, who stole the show last season with crazy cliff drops, ridiculous backflips, and just all-around consistent and aspirational skiing.

Turdell, who now has two FWT Champion titles to his name, may have a leg up on the rest of the men’s ski field, but he’s also got a target on his back, and this season’s rookie and Wildcard athletes are sure to give him a run for his money.

On the rookie side, 13 new skiers and riders join the Tour after qualifying for the honors last season. That includes Americans Grifen Moller, Jack Nichols, Lily Bradley, and Michael Mawn. As for the Wildcard selections—that may be the biggest news. Fance’s Léo Slemett and Kiwi Craig Murray, two of the biggest names in freeriding, return to the men’s competition, while Americans Lexi DuPont and Jacqueline Pollard join New Zealand’s Jess Hotter and three-time FWT Champ Ariana Tricomi from Italy on the women’s side.

Watch: The biggest backflips and spins of the 2021 Freeride World Tour

DuPont, who first made a name for herself by competing on the FWT nearly a decade ago, has gone on to become one of the biggest names in big mountain skiing. The K2 and Eddie Bauer athlete has been a staple in ski movies ever since, including in Warren Miller films .

“When I received the invitation to be the ‘Wildcard’ for the Freeride World Tour 2022, my heart jumped into my throat,” says DuPont. “I was humbled, honored, and a little nauseous all at the same time. I guess you could call me a Wildcard Rookie because it has been so long since I have been in the starting gate.”

That may be, but we have no doubt that DuPont will bring the same level of skill and energy that she brings to skiing for the camera to the 2022 FWT competitions.

New Tour Stop and Updated Format

The FWT traditionally hosts five competitions throughout the Tour, with stops in Japan, Canada, and Europe culminating in a finale at the Verbier XTremes in Switzerland. But with Japan still on lockdown due to the pandemic, the FWT will replace that opening competition with a new stop in Baqueira Beret, Spain.

Located in the Val d’Aran in the Spanish Pyrenees, Baqueira Beret is a world-class resort with extensive expert terrain. It’s also home to veteran FWT competitor Aymar Navarro.

“If you had told me 10 years ago it was possible for a skier from Spain to podium at the Xtreme Verbier, I would have said you were crazy,” Navarro says. “And now there’s going to be a FWT competition at my home mountain, Baqueira Beret!”

From Baqueira Beret, the Tour will move on to a second stop in the Pyrenees at Ordino Arcalis, Andorra, before skipping across the Atlantic for the traditional stop in Kicking Horse, B.C. If all goes according to plan, athletes will then return to Europe for the traditional stop in Fieberbrunn, Austria before throwing down in Verbier, Switzerland.

But for the 2022 Tour, only a handful of competitors will be allowed to move on from Kicking Horse to Fieberbrunn, as the FWT has decided to move its qualifying cut from the fourth stop of the tour to the third competition.

In this new format, only 26 of the best riders (12 men and 5 women from the ski event, and 5 men and 4 women from the snowboard event) will qualify for the final two stops of the tour. Fieberbrunn and Verbier will now both serve as Finals events, where the top riders will receive increased points toward their overall Tour ranking—a total of 12,500 points for the winner, instead of the 10,000 points awarded to the top rider at the previous three competitions.

2022 Freeride World Tour Schedule

The pandemic isn’t over, and while the situation seems to have stabilized in parts of the world, it’s safe to say this schedule is subject to change depending on ongoing health concerns and travel restrictions. And of course, there’s always weather and snow conditions to contend with. But if all goes according to plan, we’ll be watching the top skiers and riders in the world duke it out on some amazing faces this winter.

• Jan. 22-28: Baqueira Beret, Spain
• Jan. 30-Feb. 5: Ordino Arcalis, Andorra
• Feb. 12-17: Kicking Horse, B.C., Canada (Finals Qualification Cut)
• March 15-20: Saalbach Fieberbrunn, Austria (Finals Event)
• March 26-Apr. 3: Verbier, Switzerland (Finals Event)

2024 Kirkwood IFSA FWT Challenger

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, Kirkwood is one of the most popular freeride destinations in the USA. Kirkwood is known for its blizzards and deep snowpack, with single snowfalls often piling up snow that other resorts would be happy with over a season. Its terrain is equally impressive, offering a wide variety of slopes – from wide, open bowls to steep, technical couloirs and forests ideal for exploring the powder – and challenges for all levels, ensuring there is something for every rider.

These qualities have well and truly put this venue on the radar of freeride specialists, prompting the FWT to host a handful of Pro events here in the past, and this year it will host the final event of the FWT Challenger series in Region 2.

Freeride Quatre Français promus sur le Freeride World Tour 2025

Qautre tricolores ont réussi à obtenir leur ticket pour le freeride world tour 2025 grâce à leurs performances sur le fwt challenger. .

La station autrichienne d'Obertauren accueille ce vendredi la dernière du FWT Challenger. Un bon nombre de Tricolores pouvaient composter leur billet pour l'édition du Freeride World Tour 2025. Les quotas sont très limités. S'il y a bien 4 places pour le ski hommes, il n'y en a qu'une pour le snowboard femmes et deux pour les hommes et le ski femmes.

En cette fin de semaine, ils sont finalement quatre Français à recevoir leur promotion sur le tour mondial. Noémie Equy devait terminer devant la championne du monde 2022 Tiphanie Perrotin pour accéder au plus haut niveau. C'est chose faite. L'étudiante à l'école de management de Grenoble est la snowboardeuse qui va découvrir le FWT la saison prochaine.

Enzo Nilo, trentenaire et rookie en 2025

Un autre snowboardeur est également promu. Le Pyrénéen Enzo Nilo, 31 ans, va faire son entrée sur le World Tour en 2025. Sa 6e place du jour était suffisante pour obtenir son ticket. Enzo Serra, César Barin et Sacha Balicco sont les premiers non-sélectionnés. Cruel aussi pour les skieuses françaises. Mia McNab, Mila de le Rue, Lou Barin, Mégane Betend et Kelly Berthon terminent respectivement 3e, 4e, 5e, 6e et 8e mais, comme dit précédemment, seules les deux premières sont sélectionnées.

Virgile Didier remporte le FWT Challenger en ski et se qualifie donc pour le tour mondial. Mathys Fornasier est 4e et reçoit le dernier billet pour l'édition 2025. L'Allemand Tiemo Rolshoven et l'Andorran Joan Aracil les accompagnent.

Meet The Freeride World Tour's Rookie Of The Year

Ben Richards had one heck of a run during his first go at the Freeride World Tour this winter, ultimately earning himself the coveted title of Rookie of the Year.

Here's a quick look at Richards' no-holds-barred skiing.

Richards kept it fast and fluid all season but really turned it on during the Fieberbrunn Pro, lacing a high-speed, pure freeride line. His skiing at Fieberbrunn netted a first-place finish, which, with the rest of his solid results, was enough to rank third overall by the end of the 2024 season. 

You'd be forgiven for thinking that, after watching Richards' Fieberbrunn run, he's primarily big mountain disciple, focusing on technicality and speed over large tricks.

But that side of his skiing, as revealed by his appearance at the Kings and Queens of Corbet's, isn't the entire story. During the legendary Jackson Hole Mountain Resort competition, Richards launched an enormous double backflip.

That's all to say that Richards has a promising career ahead of him. Stay tuned for his antics next winter on the 2025 Freeride World Tour.
