Snowboard & Freeski: FWT takes place on 3 continents!

Freeride World Tour 2019

Hakuba (JPN) January 2019

The Freeride World Tour (FWT) expanded to Asia! The season kick-off of the world’s most

important freeride series for skiers and snowboarders will be held at Hakuba (JPN). The 

second stage of the tour will revisit champagne powder paradise Kicking Horse near 

Golden, British Columbia (CAN). The series continues with the well-proven spectacular slopes 

of  Fieberbrunn (AUT), Vallnord-Arcalís (AND) and to the grand finale in Verbier (SUI).

Hakuba is located in the Japanese Alps and looks back on a long freeride history. The r

egion around Nagano, the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, is famous for being blessed 

with plenty of snow. An average 11 metres snow per year provide for perfect freeride 

conditions.
