Fieberbrunn Pro: FIS Returns to Austria

The world’s best freeriders will give it their all for this final chance to qualify for the FWT Finals

The FIS Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance is
back in Austria for the fifth and final stop before the FWT Finals. After nearly two weeks in Georgia
waiting for optimal snow conditions, athletes now turn their focus to Fieberbrunn’s Wildseeloder, a
legendary freeride venue known for its steep terrain and technical couloirs.

This is the last opportunity for riders below the Cut to secure their spot for the FWT Finals, setting the
stage for an all-or-nothing showdown. Expect spectacular performances as athletes push their limits,
aiming to land podium-worthy runs. The weather window spanning from March 8 to 13 ensures that
organizers can select the best possible day to guarantee prime freeride conditions.
With just one event left before the FWT Finals, riders must deliver under pressure to remain in
contention for the Golden Bib.

Fieberbrunn: A Classic Freeride Battleground
Nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, Fieberbrunn has been a staple of the Freeride World Tour
since 2011, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and world-class freeriding. This year, fans can once
again experience the excitement firsthand at the event village, a lively hub featuring live broadcasts,
athlete meet-and-greets, and interactive activities.

Among Fieberbrunn’s most famous peaks is the legendary Wildseeloder, a mountain that has
cemented its status as an FWT classic since 2013. Standing at 2,119 meters with a formidable 583-
meter vertical drop and an average gradient of 48 degrees, it is known for its steep chutes, exposed
cliffs, and technical terrain—challenging even the most skilled rider. With its technical terrain and deep
freeride heritage, Fieberbrunn remains one of the most thrilling stops on the Tour.

Rankings Update: The Battle for the Golden Bib Intensifies
With four stops completed and only one remaining before the FWT Finals, Fieberbrunn is the final
chance to earn crucial points. This season, each rider’s best three results from five events will
count—offering more opportunities to secure a spot while keeping the pressure high to perform when it
matters most.

In Snowboard Women, French rookie Noémie Equy continues to dominate with 28,000 points,
leaving her competitors struggling to keep pace. Behind her, Michaela Davis-Meehan (AUS) with
22,095 points and Anna Martinez (FRA) with 19,275 points are locked in a battle for second and
third place.

With only a limited number of spots available for the FWT Finals—13 in Ski Men, 7 in Ski Women and
Snowboard Men, and just 4 in Snowboard Women—every run in Fieberbrunn could be the difference
between making the Cut or missing out. The competition is fiercer than ever as riders fight for their
place among the world’s best.
