about
Tilden is another athlete who delivered an ultra-consistent 2024 season, showing signs he has what it takes to be on the FWT. Tilden's FWT 2024 Challeger - Region 2 season started with a fourth place at Crested Butte – which ended up being his throwaway score – followed by two second-place finishes to propel him to the top of the overall rankings.
Growing up in the Tahoe area, Tilden has been snowboarding nearly as long as he could walk, and while he spent a couple of years in freestyle, it was the freeride community that truly captured his heart with its freedom and creative expression. Balancing freeride competitions with earning my bachelor’s degree at UC Santa Barbara has been a challenge, but now that he’s graduated (June 2024), Tilden is now ready to focus on competing at the highest level. The rookie season on the FWT is a dream come true, and he can't wait to push my limits and enjoy every moment on the mountain.
Meaning of freeride on a personal level
"Freeride is a huge part of who I am. It allows me to push myself physically, mentally, and creatively. It helps me to forget about the troubles of life and feel entirely present, and allows me to reconnect with myself and nature."
