The Freeride World Tour will return for a 2021 season, but with fewer stops.

After the pandemic ground the 2020 tour to a halt, this year’s tour will look a lot different and stick to one continent. Andorra, Austria and Switzerland will host this year’s three events, which will all take place within the span of a month.

In past years, the tour has started in Japan and British Columbia, but not during the pandemic-shortened season.

Starting this weekend, Andorra will kick off the season with a weather window between Feb. 20 and 26. Then, the tour will head to Fieberbrunn, Austria from March 6 to 12. Finally, the Verbier Xtreme will close out the tour between March 20 and 28.

I’ve celebrated this tour for years as my favorite cross section of my two loves: Skiing and sports. It’s really a fun broadcast to watch and the athletes are incredible under tough conditions. Here’s what we know going into this strange season.

How did we finish in 2020?

Men’s Ski: 1st – Isaac Frelund (USA), 2nd – Kristofer Turdell (SWE), 3rd – Andrew Pollar (USA)

Women’s Ski: 1st – Arianna Tricomi (ITA), 2nd – Hedwig Wessel (NOR), 3rd – Jaclyn Paaso (USA)

Men’s Snowboard: 1st – Nils Mindich (USA), 2nd – Victor De Le Rue (FRA), 3rd – Sammy Luebke (USA)

Women’s Snowboard: 1st – Marion Haerty (FRA), 2nd – Michaela Davis-Meehan (NZE), 3rd – Erika Vikander (USA)

More stops in 2021?

Only three tour stops have been confirmed in Andorra, Austria and Switzerland, but on its website, the Freeride World Tour says it is still looking for ways to add more.

If they are able to do that, they could change the format in a number of ways. Find the whole breakdown on their site.
