This week is the first time the Freeride World Tour stops in Haines, Alaska. The riders have been on hold
since Saturday waiting for a snow storm to settle so that the face could be secured. The venue has now
been secured by the Seaba Heli and FWT guides and everything is ready. In order to not miss the
weather window, a decision has been made to go ahead and hold the contest today.
The start order of the competition is Ski Men, then Snowboard Men, Ski Women and Snowboard Women.
There is the possibility of having a World Champion crowned in three of the four categories already at this
