48 athletes in four categories – 7 snowboard women, 9 snowboard men, 8 ski women and 24 ski men – will fight to lift the trophy as the FWT champion. But the highly diverse field from all reaches of the globe guarantee this won’t be an easy feat. And surely last year’s world champions – Marion Haerty (FRA-snowboard), Nils Mindnich (USA-snowboard), Arianna Tricomi (ITA-ski) and Isaac Freeland (USA-ski) – aren’t ready to let go of the sport’s most valuable prize.
Athletes will need to be on point from their very first turn. And with the cut now at the third stop, only 4 snowboard women, 6 snowboard men, 6 ski women and 13 ski men (totalling 29 riders) will get the opportunity to compete in the last two stops and the chance to stand on the podium.
