It’s the first time since 2016 that a FWT stop has been held in France, after the 2017 stop planned in Chamonix was relocated due to bad conditions. Expect the talented field of French freeriders to be eyeing the podium on their home turf.
According to Val Thorens Tourism Director Vincent Lalanne, hosting the FWT is part of the resort’s push to become “a premier destination for high-level freeride.” So if you’re a local, you’d better get those first-track drops while you still can, because the frothing hordes are on their way.
