Freeride World Champions Crowned After Final World Tour Event in Verbier

freeride world tour qualifier verbier

Mountainwatch | Press Release

Verbier, Switzerland – March 23, 2021: Among one of the strongest rosters in Xtreme Verbier history, the 2021 kings and queens of freeride were crowned today . Due to snow conditions, athletes in all categories started at 3,020m (instead of 3,300m), but that certainly didn’t stop them lighting up the lookers-right of the Bec des Rosses – leaving judges and viewers in awe and wanting more. With 15,000 points up for grabs for first place (instead of 10,000 with the other stops), athletes were under even more pressure to perform for the honour of lifting the FWT world champion trophy.

Here’s what went down in the 25th edition of the Xtreme Verbier:

freeride world tour qualifier verbier

SNOWBOARD WOMEN

FWT21 World Champion: Marion Haerty (FRA)

Marion Haerty (FRA – 1st Place) completed an astonishing perfect season in FWT21 – the first athlete ever to do so – taking a win at every event. She put down a fluid run with three solid airs taken with her characteristic confidence. Katie Anderson (USA – 2nd Place) produced an express line for her first time on the Bec, with a couple of drops and a method grab to lock in second place. Erika Vikander (USA – 3rd Place) showed off some technical riding in the steeps and completed a fluid run top-to-bottom.

“I don’t think about the record or the awards. I just think about how I like to snowboard. I want to push myself and the level further, and maybe that’s why I won today. I’m not in a competition against the other girls, only against myself.”

— Marion Haerty , FWT21 Xtreme Verbier Winner

FWT21 overall rankings in snowboard women:

  • Marion Haerty — 35 000 pts
  • Katie Anderson — 26 400 pts
  • Erika Vikander — 24 000 pts
  • Manuela Mandl — 20 800 pts

FWT21 World Champion: Elisabeth Gerritzen (SUI)

Hometown hero, Elisabeth Gerritzen (SUI – 1st Place), earned her second Xtreme Verbier Crown and the FWT Title with a huge performance on the Bec. Elisabeth put herself straight into a precarious zone and made the most of it with two big airs up top. She then charged the rest of her line at speed and finished with a massive air. Reigning FWT champion, Arianna Tricomi (ITA – 2nd Place), ripped a fluid line with multiple features.

She started with a smooth drop in the steeps and followed this with a double into a technical zone with a mandatory air to exit, then a 360 before the finish line to put the icing on her run. Hedvig Wessel (NOR – 3rd Place) went straight into the guts of the gnar and chose a super technical line incorporating multiple airs in the steepest zone of the face.

“I was semi-happy about my run, but it didn’t feel as good as my line in 2019. It was nervous moments waiting for the overall rankings to show up. I knew it would be tight, and I didn’t think it was in my reach to take the overall win, so it was really unexpected and an amazing surprise… Knowing that no women skier has ever won twice on the Bec, it became my goal, so I’m stoked to make it happen and to feel comfortable in the steep terrain.”

— Elisabeth Gerritzen , FWT21 Xtreme Verbier Winner

FWT21 overall rankings in ski women:

  • Elisabeth Gerritzen — 27 620 pts
  • Hedvig Wessel — 27 600 pts
  • Zuzanna Witych — 22 800 pts
  • Juliette Willmann — 20 915 pts
  • Tracy Chubb — 18 945 pts

SNOWBOARD MEN 

FWT21 World Champion: Victor De Le Rue (FRA)

Victor De Le Rue (FRA – 1st Place) made short work of the Bec, sending a full-throttle line with zero hesitation to take the Verbier Crown and the FWT Title. Victor first pointed a huge double drop and linked this with a floaty 360 straight into another cliff at warp speed. Cody Bramwell (GBR – 2nd Place) put down another dominant performance with a solid line. He started with two airs in the steeps up top, then linked a risky 360 above some serious consequences into a big air with no hesitation.

If this wasn’t enough, a laid-out backflip off the bottom wind-lip secured the second position. Blake Moller (USA – 3rd Place) found an innovative line and sent a wild 360 into the exposure then pinned the rest of the face in full control, finishing with a floaty air to lock in the podium.

“It was a weird beginning to my winter with a broken shoulder and all the resorts closed in France, meaning I didn’t ride much. I had two bad runs in Andorra, then went to Austria wanting to do a run I was stoked about, which put me in the first place. That boosted me up, and in Verbier I tried to stay in the same state of mind, forget about the competition and just do the run. And it went perfect!” — Victor De Le Rue , FWT21 Xtreme Verbier Winner

FWT21 overall rankings in snowboard men:

  • Victor De Le Rue — 31 400 pts
  • Blake Moller — 27 600 pts
  • Cody Bramwell — 27 120 pts
  • Camille Armand — 18 240 pts
  • Nils Mindnich — 17 715 pts

freeride world tour qualifier verbier

FWT21 World Champion: Kristofer Turdell (SWE)

Kristofer Turdell (SWE – 1st Place) completed his season goal and dream of winning the Xtreme Verbier with an epic display of his strength and big mountain dominance. Kristofer charged a crispy clean line, which featured multiple airs up top, a picture-perfect cliff in the middle and a backflip to finish. Former Xtreme Verbier Champion, Wadeck Gorak (FRA – 2nd Place) unveiled a line loaded with airs and huge tricks. Wadeck started with a big double in the steeps, linked this with a 360 and finished with two trademark backflips to claim the podium.

Aymar Navarro (SPA – 3rd Place) proved he is one of the most powerful freeriders around, sniffing out the biggest double on the face and sending it to the moon.

“I don’t know how to describe it. The excitement and nervousness you build up before the competition makes it hard to sleep and eat in the morning. Then, suddenly, it’s over. I over-planned my line but did a second face inspection this morning and altered it. I am really happy to link this line together.” — Kristofer Turdell , FWT21 Xtreme Verbier Winner

FWT21 overall rankings in ski men:

  • Kristofer Turdell — 31 720 pts
  • Ross Tester — 30 800 pts
  • Carl Regnér Eriksson — 24 320 pts
  • Wadeck Gorak — 24 320 pts

Freeride World Tour (FWT) 2025

September, 19 2024 ( Updated September, 20 2024)

Ride on the Edge with the Free Ride World Tour in Andorra! 

Launched in 2008, the FWT isn't just a competition, it's an adrenaline-fueled journey that keeps athletes and fans on the edge of their seats. 

Imagine standing atop a mountain, heart racing, with untouched snow and jagged cliffs ahead. This is Freeride World Tour (FWT), a premier global series where the world's most daring skiers and snowboarders push the limits on the most extreme terrain.  

What to expect in Free Ride World Tour? 

The Free Ride World Tour is all about freeride disciplines. Athletes ski or snowboard down steep, unmarked mountain slopes, picking their paths. The challenge? Mixing creativity, control, and style while tackling cliffs, rocks, and untouched snow. It includes men’s and women’s categories in skiing and snowboarding, with each event unfolding over multiple competition rounds. 

For rising stars, the Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) offers a pathway to the main tour, where up-and-coming riders compete for a coveted spot on the FWT. Many top free riders, like Xavier de Le Rue, Candide Thovex, and Arianna Tricomi, have gained fame through the FWT. 

Event Locations 

The tour takes place across five main events in famous freeride destinations around the world. While locations may vary, these are the major stops: 

  • Vallnord-Arcalís, Andorra: This location offers a perfect playground for athletes in all categories to unleash their tricks and big mountain turns. 
  • Verbier, Switzerland: Known for its legendary Bec des Rosses peak, Verbier is the home to the prestigious Verbier Xtreme final, with steep, technical lines that test the best. 
  • Fieberbrunn, Austria: Famous for its Wildseeloder face, with a 583 m vertical drop and steep, technical lines. Riders tackle a two-run format, where only the best score counts, raising the stakes for every run. 
  • Kicking Horse, Canada: A freeride haven, this resort features deep powder, massive cliffs, and a passionate local crowd. 
  • Hakuba, Japan: As Japan's largest and most renowned alpine resort, Hakuba offers a wide range of terrain, catering to everyone from beginners to experts. 

What happens in Andorra during the Freeride World Tour? 

The FWT is fiercely competitive, and not every athlete qualifies for the entire tour. Riders accumulate points at each event, with the top scorers advancing to the season's final showdown in Verbier.  

The Andorra stop is more than just a competition; it's a major draw for freeride fans and winter sports enthusiasts. Spectators can enjoy the action from designated viewing areas or follow the event through live streams. 

Ultimately, the Freeride World Tour showcases the thrill of high-risk, high reward freeride skiing and snowboarding at some of the world’s most iconic mountain locations.
