Hi folks,
here’s a quick review about my first season at the Freeride World Tour. Last year I qualified as one of two snowboarders worldwide for the tour.
This season the FWT was pretty, let’s call it, exciting 🙂 Due the lack of snow in europe it was pretty challenging for the riders and organizers to find rideable faces. As it was my first year, my main goal was to just ride down safe, have a good time and qualify for the next season. Stoked that it worked out 🙂
My results:
Chamonix: 7th (crash)
Andorra: 2nd
Fieberbrunn: 3rd
Verbier: 4th
I had a good start – first contest, first podium 🙂
Enjoying the rare spots with good snow
It’s all about the mental preparation – Fabio Studer and me transforming to a lion 🙂
Right before the drop-in in at the FWT Chamonix I was still unsure about my line-choice… After I bailed , I knew that it was the wrong decision 🙂

Big shout out to all my supporters, FWT-lovers, Social-Media fans and freeride enthusiasts. YOU ARE AWESOME
Have a nice day,
