Off the Record E2: Val Thorens Pro – GoPro x FWT

Watch the video

Off The Record continues with Episode 2, taking us to Val Thorens alongside Justine Dufour-Lapointe, one of the most accomplished riders on the Freeride World Tour.

A past World Champion and consistent podium contender, Justine knows what it takes to win. But Val Thorens is never straightforward. A new face, shifting conditions, endless options, and no clear answers. Confidence meets uncertainty, preparation meets instinct.

Shot entirely from the riders’ point of view, Off The Record brings you inside the real experience of competition: face checks in bad light, second-guessing every line, last-minute decisions, and the mental load of committing when nothing feels fully locked in.

This episode captures freeride in its rawest form. The pressure before the drop. The split-second choice to go all in. The consequences that come with it. And the support, emotion, and respect that follow when things don’t go as planned.

From early-morning preparation to competition day at Val Thorens, this is a rare, unfiltered look at what it really means to push limits at the highest level of freeride.

Stay tuned. New episodes of Off The Record drop on the GoPro Snow YouTube channel, following each Freeride World Tour stop.
