Why Focus on Freeride?
With so much to enjoy in the mountains it’s difficult for me to choose just one area I love the most. Yet when pressed, I consistently find myself focused on freeride watching the Freeride World Tour (FWT.)
In my humble opinion, freeriding showcases some of the very best elements of the sport. It combines big mountain faces and their rowdy terrain with equally amazing athletes..

Dismissed by outsiders as a band of renegades who rejected rules and boundaries, they kept to themselves, worked in secret, and sought first tracks, even out of bounds, whenever the opportunity arose. They risked their coveted passes, their livelihoods, and at times, their freedom to doggedly chase their heart’s desire. Now that their historical significance is firmly planted it’s easy for me to assign them as the obvious first choice to kick off this monthly series.
