The FIS Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance is back in Austria for the fifth and final stop before the FWT Finals. After nearly two weeks in Georgia waiting for optimal snow conditions, athletes now turn their focus to Fieberbrunn’s Wildseeloder, a legendary freeride venue known for its steep terrain and technical couloirs.
This is the last opportunity for riders below the Cut to secure their spot for the FWT Finals, setting the stage for an all-or-nothing showdown. Expect spectacular performances as athletes push their limits, aiming to land podium-worthy runs.
The FIS Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance is closely monitoring conditions on the Wildseeloder and has identified a prime window of opportunity for competition.
With clear skies and light winds in the forecast, conditions are looking favorable in the coming days. However, rising temperatures over the weekend may affect the snowpack. To capitalize on the current conditions, Friday, March 7th, is being considered as a potential competition day.
With just one event left before the FWT Finals, riders must deliver under pressure to remain in contention for the Golden Bib.
Nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, Fieberbrunn has been a staple of the Freeride World Tour since 2011, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and world-class freeriding. This year, fans can once again experience the excitement firsthand at the event village, a lively hub featuring live broadcasts, athlete meet-and-greets, and interactive activities.
Among Fieberbrunn’s most famous peaks is the legendary Wildseeloder, a mountain that has cemented its status as an FWT classic since 2013. Standing at 2,119 meters with a formidable 583-meter vertical drop and an average gradient of 48 degrees, it is known for its steep chutes, exposed cliffs, and technical terrain—challenging even the most skilled rider. With its technical terrain and deep freeride heritage, Fieberbrunn remains one of the most thrilling stops on the Tour.
For fans looking to experience the thrill of the Fieberbrunn Pro, the event will be streamed live on www.freerideworldtour.com. The exact competition day and details will be confirmed 48 hours in advance to ensure optimal conditions.
