Kuthai, Innsbruck, is set to be the dazzling host of the third stop on the Freeride World Tour 2026, promising thrilling competition and breathtaking scenery for all participants and spectators alike. Don’t miss this epic event!
Due to unstable snowpack conditions, the Georgia Pro has been cancelled and will now be restaged in Kühtai, Innsbruck, Austria.
Schöffi’s Face in Kühtai provides the terrain, conditions, and operational framework needed to host the event in accordance with FWT safety standards.
Restaging the competition ensures that athletes retain the opportunity to compete for the points originally allocated to the Georgia Pro.
This solution applies to this season only. The Georgia Pro remains an integral stop on the FWT calendar, and we look forward to returning next year to host the event in its original setting.
The organization committee is currently targeting a competition day on Thursday or Friday, subject to final confirmation based on mountain conditions. Further details regarding scheduling and broadcast information will be shared soon.
The Freeride World Tour Team thanks the Kühtai – Innsbruck local teams for their flexibility and collaboration in making this possible, as well as the Georgia team for their professionalism and support throughout this process.
Kuhtai is Austria's highest ski resort, situated in the Stubai Alps at over 2,020 meters above sea level, ensuring excellent snow conditions from December to April. Located just 30-35 km from Innsbruck, it is a popular, sunny, and high-altitude ski-in/ski-out destination with 49 km of slopes, 27 lifts, and a reputation for being great for intermediate skiers.
Kühtai is located above the tree line, which makes it perfect for off-piste skiing. It's important to remember that 'Riding with Care' is essential in this area. With its alpine meadows, the 400 hectares of terrain provide ample opportunity to carve your lines in the powder.
Fans eager to experience the excitement of the event can watch it streamed live at www.freerideworldtour.com. The exact competition day and details will be confirmed 48 hours in advance to ensure the best conditions.
