Snowboarder Estelle Rizzolio awarded a season wildcard

The Freeride World Tour is proud to announce Estelle Rizzolio has been given a season wildcard in the women’s snowboard category. Estelle started her freeride journey in Chablais (CH) over 20 years ago, fine-tuning her skills to finally earn her place on the biggest stage of all.

Estelle is no stranger to freeride competition, as she has been a regular contender on the FWT Qualifiers since 2019, showing incredible progression year after year. In fact, she has numerous podium finishes during this time, culminating in a record year in 2022, when she finished second overall in Region 1 (Europe). Her highlights of last season include:

  • 1st at Verbier FWT Qualifier 4*
  • 1st at Open Faces Silvretta Montafon 4*
  • 2nd at Jasna Adrenalin 4* FWT Challenger
  • 2nd at Nendaz Freeride 4* FWT Challenger

Can she carry this form into 2023 and shake up the already talent-packed roster? No doubt, she has proved herself worthy of competing at the highest level, and she will certainly be one to watch.

Remember that all FWT events will be live at www.freerideworldtour.com, and stay tuned to FWT social channels for all the latest info as it drops.
