FWT 2014 Verbier Highlights

freeride_world_tour

The finals of the Freeride World Tour went off at Verbier this weekend.  The best of the best displayed their stuff on the famed Bec des Rosses, with Reine Barkered, Pia Nic Gunderson, Ralph Backstrom, and Elodie Mouthon taking top spots in their respective divisions.  Colorado 2o year old Ian Borgenson 360’d one of the largest airs on the venue to take second place.  Big screen stud Samuel Anthamatten took one of the gnarlier falls we’ve seen, but remarkably regained control and skied to the finish.

The competition wrapped up the season, with Loic Collomb Patton, Emilen Badoux, Nadine Wallner, and Shannon Yates taking the overall top spots in 2014.  We look forward to seeing CB local girl Mary Boddington join Francesca Pavillard Cain on the 2015 tour.
