Arianna Tricomi

This week will be full of adventure: a crossing of the Southern Alps in New Zealand by boat, ski and climbing. A female duo on a 10-day winter expedition with couloirs in Alaska. Alongside the adventure, there's park skiing at its finest - crème de la crème from the Depart crew and hotlaps. Plus snowboard clip after clip: A crew that left no pillow untouched. What a movie.

Winter is just around the corner - and with it the biggest freeride event of the year. In less than 20 days, this year's Freeride World Tour (FWT) kicks off in Baqueira Beret, Spain, probably on 19th of January 2025. New riders and venues, legendary comebacks and changes to the contest format promise pure excitement. So buckle up, because the freeride elite is waiting in the wings, ready to thrill us with epic lines and wild moments.

The VdW need content and that's what vloggers and the contest scene aka the Freeride World Tour provide us with on a regular basis. Today we feature the comebacks of Sage Cattabriga-Alosa as a vlogger and Ariana Tricomi at the FWT. Have fun!

The Freeride World Tour 2022/23 starts its final stops in the Alps next weekend. The next stop at the infamous Wildseeloder in Fieberbrunn promises two new events and could become the unofficial finale.

Unlike the weather: the video precipitation accumulates on the www. The ski video contributions are currently very considerable. It's easy to fill the issue. We particularly enjoy the female influence and let them take the lead!

The final of the FWT in Verbier was of course already canceled 2 weeks ago. The 25th anniversary of the Verbier Xtreme was actually scheduled for these days. The results of the FWT and FWQ were frozen and the current leaders were declared the overall winners. This article summarizes this ranking including the newly qualified from the FWQs.

The conditions at the tenth anniversary of the FWT stop in Fieberbrunn could not have been better: With fresh new snow and the best weather, Marion Haerty (FRA), Arianna Tricomi (ITA), Nils Mindnich (USA) and Craig Murray (NZL) won the fourth and penultimate FWT stage of 2020. Gigi Rüf (AUT) came second in the snowboarder category and Tao Kreibich (AUT) secured a strong fifth place in the skier category.

Good snow conditions and solid riding performances were on show at the replay of the FWT contest on Sunday evening. At the second tour stop of the FWT 2020 in Kicking Horse, Golden, BC, Jessica Hotter (NZL), Marion Haerty (FRA), Kristofer Turdell (SWE) and Jonathan Penfield (USA) were crowned winners.

Here we go again! The Freeride World Tour 2020 starts next weekend in Hakuba, Japan. The qualifier season has already started, after a few contests in France and French-speaking Switzerland, the German-speaking countries have now also kicked off the season with the 3*FWQ/2*FJT in Kappl.

Freeride World Tour: Marion Haerty, Arianna Tricomi, Markus Eder and Victor De Le Rue crowned Tour winners! Elisabeth Gerritzen, Marion Haerty, Wadeck Gorak and Jonathan Penfield took the day's victory at the Xtreme Verbier.

A somewhat decimated field of riders enjoys the first FWT tour stop in Japan in excellent snow and weather conditions. Wildcard holder Travis Rice not only outdoes his snowboard colleagues on this face, Markus Eder wins the skiers' race ahead of Tanner Hall. Ari Tricomi picks up where she left off last season and Anna Orlova comes out on top in the snowboarding category.

Only three days to go until the start of the FWT in Hakuba, Japan. The organizers hope to hold the contest on Friday, 18.01.2019. Injuries and wildcards are causing further changes to the rider field, which is gradually arriving in the Hakuba Valley on the Japanese main island.
