MESTIA, Georgia – February 18, 2025: The FIS Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance is back in
Georgia for the fourth stop of the 2025 season, following three intense competitions in Europe and
North America. Tetnuldi Resort, nestled in the stunning Svaneti region, made history last year by
hosting its first FWT event, and now it returns as a key battleground as the season moves closer to the
Cut.
With a weather window from February 23 – March 1, organizers will select the best possible day to
ensure optimal freeride conditions. After standout performances at the first three events, the fight for
the Golden Bib is more competitive than ever. With one more stop in Fieberbrunn after Georgia before
the Cut, every run is crucial for riders hoping to secure their place in the final phase of the Tour.

Rankings Update: The Battle for the Golden Bib
With this event and one more remaining before the Cut, the competition is fiercer than ever. In
Snowboard Men, Victor de Le Rue (FRA) continues to lead, but Jonathan Penfield (CAN) and Enzo
Nilo (FRA) are closing the gap, making the Georgia Pro a pivotal battleground. Meanwhile, in
Snowboard Women, Noémie Equy (FRA) has been dominant all season, but Anna Martinez (FRA)
and Michaela Davis-Meehan (AUS) are still in contention, ready to challenge her hold on the top spot.

Event Wildcard: Jaba Skhvediani Returns
For the second year in a row, Georgian snowboarder Jaba Skhvediani has been awarded the event
wildcard, giving him another chance to compete on home snow. After making a name for himself in
freestyle competitions across Europe, he has now transitioned into freeriding, bringing his aerial skills and creative approach to the big-mountain stage. His deep knowledge of the terrain and freestyle
background could be key advantages as he takes on the world’s best freeriders.
“To compete at home once again is a huge honor. I can’t wait to ride among the best and showcase
what freeriding in Georgia is all about!”
– Jaba Skhvediani, 2025 Georgia Pro Event Wildcard
