About The
Freeride
World Tour

The Freeride World Tour (FWT) is managed by FWT Management SA, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. Its roots trace back to 1996 with the creation of the Xtreme Verbier, a single competition that grew into what is now recognised as the world's leading freeride circuit. Since the tour's launch in 2008, it has brought together the world's best freeride skiers and snowboarders to compete on iconic alpine faces at renowned resorts across the globe.

Today the FWT describes itself as building the "Home of Freeride" together with its riders, community, and fans around the world.
