One year after that shock, the opening round of Freeride World Tour 1 will be held in Hakuba in January this year !!

In January last year, the Freeride World Qualifier (FWT 1 star) "Freeride HAKUBA" was held for the first time in Japan as a prelude to the full-scale holding of the Freeride World Tour (FWT).Snowboarding, skiing, and the highest peaks of extremers gather, especially for snowboarding, Travis Rice, who is visiting Japan, participates.It was a new memory that it was a tournament that made us snowboard fans excited, with Shin Miyajima in 4nd place after showing an overwhelming slip and shining in 1st place.
I think there are many snowboarders who are worried that "this year is about to come".As promised, the calendar has been announced that the opening round of the tour's highest peak tournament "Freeride World Tour 5", which will be held only in five countries around the world, will be held in Hakuba this year.
A total of 45 world-class riders will compete for the pinnacle of Freeride on three continents.
