2026 Pitztal Wild Face Qualifier

The Pitztal Wild Face is a timed race that is not judged on the line taken, as is usually the case in Freeride World Qualifier events. The competition run will be held on the north face of the Mittagskogel, and 96 riders, plus the 4 winners from last year, can take part. Start numbers will be assigned at the riders' meeting after the mandatory course inspection on the previous day. There are 4 different categories: men's and women's skiing, and men's and women's snowboarding.
