Every season, the world's best freeriders come together to compete on some of the most challenging mountain terrain. But who are the athletes willing to push their limits where few others would dare to ski?

This episode introduces four of them: Justine Dufour-Lapointe (CAN), Astrid Cheylus (FRA), Max Hitzig (GER), and Toby Rafford (USA). From different countries and backgrounds, each has followed a unique path to reach the highest level of freeride.

Episode 2: SIDEWAYS - November 8, 2027

Young and reserved, rookie Mia Jones (USA) carries a family name deeply rooted in freeride. Having grown up surrounded by the sport, she seems destined for this stage, but must now find her own path in the world of professional competition. On the other hand, veterans Victor de Le Rue (FRA) and Cody Bramwell (GBR) know exactly what it takes to compete at the highest level. With years of experience behind them, they enter the season with clear objectives and a determination to leave their mark. While Mia discovers the Tour and learns to navigate its challenges, Victor and Cody are already focused on the battle ahead.
