Liam Rivera

Liam Rivera has built his career through steady progression, establishing himself among the leading riders in men's snowboarding before becoming Freeride World Champion in 2026.

The Swiss rider grew up in Düdingen before making Verbier his mountain. That relationship is particularly visible on the Bec des Rosses, where years of experience have helped shape some of his strongest performances.

Rivera's rise has been methodical rather than sudden, with victories in Kicking Horse, Fieberbrunn and Verbier along the way. At 27, he combines four seasons of World Tour experience with an intimate knowledge of one of freeride's most important venues.
