00:01Welcome back.
00:02Ski Women is up next.
00:05We're going back up to the top.
00:07Zuzana Witek riding out of Poland.
00:10You would never know that she grew up quite far from the mountains,
00:13because when you see her ride, she's so comfortable in these big faces,
00:16not afraid to send it as we see right out the gate.
00:20Fighting off a different angle than we saw Elizabeth Hake,
00:23and it works out as she has two features in early on in her run.
00:30Hopping into the top of this section,
00:37some serious rock navigation going on here,
00:41as Zuzana Witek coming off, pointing it off the top of that,
00:44getting control again, so she is keeping it sensible.
00:47As you can see, the rest of the couloir looming out.
00:49There are some feature options down on the lower skier's right-hand side.
00:55Going huge.
01:00Getting the corner of that one too,
01:06so really stacking up the line score, feature after feature,
01:10a nice controlled run for Zuzana Witek.
01:14This next rider, Lily Bradley, fired up and ready to go.
01:19In their mantra, ski fast and have fun.
01:21I'm coming.
01:26Hitting that top air, making through no problem,
01:29where the other girls got a little bit caught up.
01:34And huge.
01:35Yes!
01:36They make it all the way over all those rocks.
01:43Lily now just trying to get back in control, taking a couple more steps.
01:47Lining up that massive cliff, taking it with speed.
01:52Yes!
01:52Oh!
01:58You saw Nadine, you saw Justine, they went in pretty slow,
02:01and Lily just full gas, massive air.
02:04Yeah, they are one of the brightest sparks on the Freeride World Tour.
02:08Back up to the top, Scott Athley riding out of Kirkwood, California, Molly Arminino.
02:17No hesitation, straight out of the gate at full Molly throttle.
02:24Molly Tahoe Gal coming in and she's lining up this air and finding that tranny,
02:29putting it right to her feet.
02:39Molly getting up into the trees here, but this is Molly's bread and butter.
02:45Into the fall line, over the rocks.
02:47Up and over that feature and keeps it on her feet, flying out down onto the apron.
02:59As we are back here to the top, Scott and Peak Performance rider, Laina Kohler.
03:07Absolutely electric athlete.
03:09The first little bit of her run in Bakira Barrette was so fiery,
03:13as she is straight into the face here.
03:15Proving that she can handle these top full commitment lines.
03:24Laina Kohler now just enjoying, look how deep the powder is there.
03:28She makes her way onto this spiny takeoff and going way further riders left,
03:33deep into that landing, going huge there.
03:40The German rider, she's been skiing a ton of park lately in her time off between Bakira
03:44and this event, pumping off that one as well, finding a nice trajectory there.
03:53Laina Kohler dropping in, getting completely engulfed in the powder and pinned.
03:57Turned that into a triple and flying out, showing the full set of skills that she's got.
04:03Laina Kohler lacing that run on the left, north face.
04:12Astrid Chellus now starting her campaign here at home in France.
04:17This is another perfect example of an athlete that can do it all.
04:20She's got great technical skiing, but she can throw double backflips in a competition.
04:25And huge stopping airs.
04:29Launching off that one, disappearing into the powder cloud.
04:33Getting trajectory for this next feature.
04:35Popping a backflip, Astrid Chellus landing it.
04:38Oh, we are witnessing an electric performance here from Astrid Chellus.
04:42The French rider putting on a show for her home crowd.
04:49Popping off and a perfect landing.
04:51Astrid Chellus has the French crowd going absolutely ballistic.
04:57We are back to the top with Verbier's own Jenna Keller in her backyard competing at home on the back.
05:04She can put herself on her downhill ski as we're seeing right in front of us.
05:20So controlled, so smooth, so powerful.
05:22Perfectly executing that close out cliff.
05:38And now getting into the beat of the Bekteros, getting the corner off that.
05:50There is the Heartbreak Hotel looming below.
05:56Yes, that's where you need to land.
06:04Jenna Keller safely through the arch and clean at the bottom of the Bek.
06:09And the home crowd going wild for their hometown hero.
06:14Back up to the top, we have our 2023 Freeride World Tour champion,
06:20peak performance rider Justine Dufour, left one.
06:24And Justine is now on the La Bamba face, way up high.
06:27Making great work out of these top sections.
06:30Again, controlled turns, controlling her speed.
06:33Another air for Justine, so she is looking strong here now in the rider's left corner.
06:53And just maxing things out as she gets into the rocks.
06:57Popping another feature, so absolutely jacking up the line skier here.
07:02Or Justine Dufour, left one.
07:03Catching speed.
07:05Oh my god, a huge backflip for Justine.
07:12Justine is stoked.
07:14So the level here, the freestyle edition of the Freeride World Tour for Ski Women.
07:18I have to show you how to get up the air that it has been pretty much done like that.
07:22So the level here is something that you can find a good speed.
07:23We are really good.
