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.
