ABOUT THE EVENT
FWT Challenger – 4 Star Qualifier
The FREERIDE WORLD TOUR (FWT) has been uniting the best freeride skiers and snowboarders on the planet for ten years in the world championship consisting of five stops. In 2024, 50 athletes will compete on legendary competition slopes in order to take part in the finals in Fieberbrunn and Verbier. After the first four stops, only the top 50% of all riders in the respective rankings will qualify for the finals in Fieberbrunn (Austria) and Verbier (Switzerland), where the world champions in the individual categories will be crowned.
In four FWT Challenger events (4-star qualifiers) after the cut-off on March 9, the best riders from the FWT qualifiers will compete with the World Tour riders who didn’t make the cut for the starting places for the Freeride World Tour 2025
The FWT Qualifier events are categorized from 1 star to 4 star events. The higher the category, the more points you get for the ranking. After the cut-off on March 9, there will be the 4-star FWT Challenger events.
After the premiere in 2012, the X OVER RIDE 2024 will be held for the first time this year as an FWT Challenger (4-star qualifier) after 10 x FWT Qualifier 3 stars.
Since there are already many events in the 1 star and 2 star range, there will be no FWQ 1 star event as a pre-competition this year.
