2021 Freeride World Qualifers NZ

With such a crazy 2020 & now 2021 unfolding the decisions came very late to salvage what we could during the restrictions being lifted after the Covid break out in NZ.

​

Unfortunately the Mount Olympus Freeride Open will take a second year of hiatus as we wanted to concentrate on bringing the best opportunities for our NZ athletes.

​

With communications to all resorts the best choice was to concentrate on as high a level competition as possible. 

​

So with great pleasure this year NZ will have the The North Face Frontier returning with a 2* & a 4* FWQ event.

​

These events will be held through a weather window of Sunday 29th August to 2 September, the 2* will run first and some podium places will be automatically qualify for the 4* the next fine weather day.

​

NZ are extremely lucky to be hosting a 4* FWQ in NZ with our 'closed' borders. Our Australian cousins will be joining us but this is a huge opportunity for kiwis to attack the upcoming 2021 Freeride Qualifier tour.

​

Registration will be via FWT website and more information will come.
