With over a decade of event production experience, Mountain Sports International (MSI) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour (FWT).
The largest and longest running competitive Big Mountain Freeskiing tour in the history of the sport, the FWT features an unprecedented six stops including a Freeskiing World Tour Qualifier (FWTQ). With $20,000 cash per World Tour stop, the FWT boasts over $100,000 total tour payout.
"This year's Subaru Freeskiing World Tour is loaded," said MSI Winter Sports Director and announcer Dak Williams. "The prize purse has almost doubled, and so has the viewership for our live webcasts. We have the best freeskiing athletes on the planet, and every year more up-and-comers are discovered on our tour. This is where the best come to compete."
Returning after a one-year hiatus, the Subaru North American Freeskiing Championships at Kirkwood, Ca., rejoins the FWT along with a new European stop in Zermatt, Switz. The FWT culminates at the ultimate big mountain competition venue of Alyeska Resort in Alaska.
