The Snow Conditions

Despite a lack of snowfall in Europe this season, and the Sahara sand particles that engrossed Europe over the last few days; sufficient snow coverage remains on the Bec. Overall, everything is looking extremely positive for Saturday’s competition. Athletes will get to encounter, and play with the vertical drops, and the labyrinth of technical terrain this weekend that the face provides.

It promises to be a teeth-grinding, and knuckle gripping show as the FWT Finals ranking points have greater value than the first initial events (to be precise by a factor of 1.25x). Everything is to be played for on Saturday; athletes who were trailing behind in the rankings could snatch the World Champion title from current leaders.

The FWT Final Riders will be joined by a talented pool of highly experienced wildcard athletes such as  Reine Barkered (SWE) the explosive Spanish skier Aymar Navarro (ESP) who also fell below the cut, and finally two-time World Champion Victor De Le Rue (FRA).
