How good was Australia’s first Freeride World Tour event?!

What a weekend! The freeride mecca of Australia lived up to its reputation, with Hotham hosting Australia’s first ever Freeride World Tour events over the weekend. 

Saturday saw 130 of the best junior freeskiers and riders in the country throw down in Peach Bowl for the 2025 Mount Hotham Freeride World Tour Jnr 1*. The standard of freeriding across the divisions was incredible and everyone who took part should be very proud of themselves!

Sunday saw the competition take things up a notch! 70 adult competitors took part in the 2025 Mount Hotham Freeride World Tour Qualifier 1* event. Local legends battled it out against top talent from across Australia and beyond.  It was a day filled with flips, spins, stacks and exhilarating cliff drops!
