This is the full RECAP of the FWT24 Yeti Verbier Xtreme

This fifth, and final, event of the season was the cherry on top of an amazing, record breaking cycle of the Freeride World Tour. This comp had drama. It had suspense. It had runs that once again pushed forward progression of the sport and it had riders who wouldn't know if they'd be champions until the last rider crossed the finish.

This is the full RECAP of the FWT24 Fieberbrunn Pro Event with Mark Warner and Derek Foose. The fourth event of the season saw the FWT make its return to Fieberbrunn, Austria and the legendary Wildseeloder face.

This was the first event after the cut with the field of athletes being reduced to half. This is also the only event of the season where the riders get two runs. We talk about record breaking runs, the new, Men's Snowboard Champion, the freestyle vs. freeride argument and lots more.

We introduce you to some of the names you should to pay attention to including the Challenger Wild Cards. We learn about an athlete who has qualified for both the Ski and Snowboard categories including a rider who is introducing a new generation of a famous freeride family.

The third event of the season saw the FWT make its way to the country of Georgia for the very first time and this event was the cut! We saw

Victor de le Rue win his third consecutive event and Marcus Goguen tie the record for the highest scoring run. The ski women suffered a lot of crashes and the Ski Men had 7 men score in the 90's

The second event of the FWT season saw the tour return to Canada at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, BC Canada. The comp couldn't be held on the OZONE face as intended due to poor conditions and was switched to T1 South, the same face as 2022.  As expected the riders did their thing including another level unlocked by a Ski Women's competitor.

Mark meets up with Stan on Whistler Blackcomb for a chairlift chat about what he expects from the event and if he thinks he's ready.  He even has some important news of his own!  

Stan was showing fellow Ski Men's competitor, Tenra Katsuno, around the mountain and we also chat with Tenra to help you get to know him better heading into Kicking Horse.
