Freeride World Tour Challenger

WHO WILL RISE TO THE TOP?

By: Monterosa Ski

Gressoney-La-Trinité, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité AO

FWT Challenger

WHO WILL RISE TO THE TOP? 

Approximately 60 riders from Region 1 and 80 from Region 2 will participate in the FWT Challenger events. This will comprise athletes from the FWT Pro who miss The Cut before the FWT Finals – giving them a final chance of redemption – and the top riders from the FWT and IFSA Qualifier, who will have the opportunity to prove their worth on the big stage. This signals the end of a long journey for these athletes, many of whom have fought their way through the junior’s circuit and the FWT and IFSA Qualifier, and who must now find yet another gear to achieve the ultimate goal: qualifying for the FWT Pro. 

Only the top four male and two female skiers, and two male and one female snowboarder in each region, will be crowned FWT Challenger Champion and qualify for the FWT Pro. At the discretion of the FWT, an additional wildcard for the women’s snowboard category will also be awarded to the most deserving athlete between the two regions. Therefore, with only a handful of competitors earning a promotion, the pressure on all athletes to perform will be immense. Who will rise from the shadows and into the spotlight? Results from these seven events will give us the answer…

 

Monterosa Freeride Paradise Challenger, Italy: March 14-17, 2024 – organized by Monterosa Freeride Paradise*
