FWT announces Dennis Ranalter as event wildcard in Fieberbrunn

Austrian shredder Dennis Ranalter will make his FWT debut this season, gaining an event wildcard in the ski men’s category in Fieberbrunn. His stylish approach to big mountain skiing has caught the attention of the freeride world, and all eyes will be on the rookie to see if he can deliver a strong performance in his home mountains. 

Dennis grew up in the Stubaital valley in Tirol, Austria, surrounded by high peaks and a community devoted to snow sports. He started skiing at the age of three, and naturally got into racing at a young age. After years of competing in local contests, he made the Austrian ski team, which allowed him to travel and compete on a large scale, eventually earning his place on a World Cup team.

More recently, Dennis has committed all his energy to filming, appearing in movies by Level 1 Productions, Legs of Steel and We are the Coterie, as well as undertaking a bunch of projects with friends. His latest movie, Anywhere from Here, by Matchstick Productions won ‘Film of the Year’ at the Whistler edition of the iF3 Festival. His part in this movie also contributed to him winning ‘Breakout Skier of the Year’ at the same awards, highlighting his talent among some of the best big mountain athletes in the film industry.

Dennis’s freestyle approach to big mountain skiing will be on display in Fieberbrunn on the famous Wildseeloder face. Watch this event, and all FWT stops, live at www.freerideworldtour.com, and stay tuned to the FWT social channels for all updates.
