The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed the inclusion of freeride skiing and snowboarding in the programme of the Alpes 2030 Olympic Winter Games. From the first Xtreme Verbier in 1996 to the inaugural FIS Freeride World Championships in 2026, the FWT community has grown to more than 10,000 licensed riders and over 300 competitions each season across four continents. In 2030, freeriders will represent their nations on the biggest stage in sport.

Christina Aguilera delivered an electrifying performance at the “Top of the Mountain Closing Concert” in front of 19,000 enthusiastic spectators. A closing event that crowned a highly successful winter season in Ischgl in impressive style.

The FIS Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance concluded its 2026 season with a spectacular final on the legendary Bec des Rosses, one of the most demanding and iconic freeride faces in the world. Steep and technical, the venue has helped define the sport since 1996, when the first Xtreme Verbier was held on its slopes.
