Freeride World Tour 2023 - Kicking Horse Golden BC Pro

It was the 3rd stop of the Freeride World Tour 2023 in Canada at Kicking Horse Golden BC, (CAN) on the 17th of February 2023. After two stops in the Pyrenees the world’s best riders came over the Atlantic to hit the powder in the Rocky Mountains. The competition took place in the impressive Ozone-Face, where riders faced a 324-meter vertical drop which included steep terrain, cornices, transfers, and big cliffs. All athletes had the cut on the back of their minds, it was the last opportunity to show off what they´ve got and to earn a spot in the FWT Finals. So, athletes with nothing to lose, to demonstrate explosive action and creativities without limits.
