Why do they put Linecatcher so close to the FWT stop? Seems like a bunch of a sick riders are forced to choose between two epic events.

I think Oakley White-Allan is the only guy who has to 'choose'. The rest of the Linecatcher skiers are on the FWT tour.

Both are invite only events, it's not like the athletes get to just choose to enter a FWT event without qualifying.

Markus Eder skied in Revelstoke, got on a plane, and is here for Linecatcher. So no, nobody's got to choose.

Oakley is a sick skier. Hoping he does well. The Panda-Pole crew is dope forsure, but ehh, maybe an emphasis on the dope. They should maybe avoid Andy Parry for obvious reasons...

True enough. I just kind of assumed there would have been overlap because of the dates and riders. Favret did pretty well at FWT last year, same with Permin.
