2024 freeride world champion
Max Hitzig delivered a full-throttle line to take second spot at the 2024 YETI Xtreme Verbier, which was enough to claim the FWT World Title! He found a spicy entrance to the central couloir, skiing with zero hesitation and linking two big cliffs before spinning a clean 360 and another cliff to finish.
WORLD CHAMPION
I can’t believe it. I was so nervous before my line. I have worked so hard for this. The level is getting so high, so I know it is getting harder to claim the title every year, which makes me happy to win it this year. I was scared to ski the Bec des Rosses from the top, but when you are in competition mode you just go full send!
