2025 FWT Challenger by Orage Calendar is HERE - 9 Stops, 80 Riders, Battling for a Spot on FWT 2026

The 2025 FWT Challenger by Orage Calendar is HERE!
9 epic stops. 2 regions. 60-80 riders battling it out for their spot at the Freeride World Tour 2026. 🏔️🔥

🌍 **Region 1 (Europe-Asia-Oceania):** 6 stops starting January. Top 4 results count!

🌎 **Region 2 (Americas) - Hold by IFSA :** 3 North American stops in March—pure freeride magic.

These athletes include top performers from the FWT Qualifier series, as well as FWT Pro riders seeking redemption after not making the Cut on the FWT 2024.

For these riders, the stakes are high, as only the best will secure a spot on the FWT 2026. The **top 4 Ski Men, top 2 Ski Women, top 2 Snowboard Men, and top 1 Snowboard Woman** from each Region will earn their place. Additionally, one extra Snowboard Woman might be selected from either region at the discretion of the Organization.

This restructured format builds a robust second tier of freeride competition, providing a consistent pathway for emerging athletes to ascend to the FWT Pro level.
