The Freeride World Tour returned to Hotham!

Hotham once again lived up to its reputation as the freeride capital of Australia, hosting the Freeride World Tour Qualifier 2-star event.

More than 80 athletes from Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Europe descended on the mountain to throw down in the infamous Peach Bowl zone in Heavenly Valley.

Challenging weather conditions meant the event was split over two days. Snowboarders threw down on Thursday with fresh snow giving them the confidence do go big. However, the weather rolled in and forced a pause on the action before the skiers could finish their runs. 

We reset this morning for the skiers. They delivered an incredible display of talent, style and technical skill across the field. Between two days of flips, spins, cliff drops and massive stacks, the Qualifier was all-time!

Get excited - over 50cm of fresh snow is in the forecast! Pow turns are officially back on the menu at Hotham as the storm rolls in over the coming days. Make plans! 

With the wild weather, the Junior Freeride World Tour event may be impacted, so stay tuned for updates.
