WuTangShinBangThere’s a FWQ 2* that just happened at my home resort and a FWQ 4* that’s happening on monday also in revy, people are throwing down so hard it’s so dope to watch.
patagonialukeSuch a good comp with so many solid runs right from the start. I screamed at my phone during Aymar’s run, that was absurd
BiffbarfI wish there was more fwq events covered because a lot of times the terrain is more relatable than the shit on the fwt
BigPurpleSkiSuitI definitely felt Mael should have scored higher as well just for that massive send, I mean that cliff was like 60-70 feet I think onto not pow?

DrailCan't help but wonder how Tanner feels about the dub backflip. It's all he wanted while on the tour and Max comes out and nails it first run on the tour. Props.
Loved the venue. Lots of options, good length, snow looked nice and predictable. Considering Andorra is right next door hopefully the conditions stay good for thr next stop.
Personally I think Wadeck Gorak deserved to be on the podium (3rd), but that's just the way it goes.

SofaKingSickanywhere i can catch clips? especially of the dub back and mael's big cliff people are mentioning?
hdubsHighlights and the full replay are on the fwt yt channel
hdubsAnyone know why guys like Sam Kuch doesn’t try to get on tour? Obviously he’s got a pretty good career as a film skier but if I was in his position I’d probably be competing too

Way*MoAlso mostly unrelated, the snowboarding was extremely underwhelming here which hasn’t been the case in the past
huntreilly25Yo, I've actually been feeling this for awhile (that the snowboarding is boring compared to the skiing) but I definitely felt it was a more drastic difference for this event.
BiffbarfEspecially the womens snowboarding. Like I KNOW there's gotta be a lot more lady rippers than whats represented in the fwt. The skiers are cream of the crop the snowboarders I'm not too sure

fatbastardHe won the Junior FWT one year and was happy with that? And throwing down into powder while filming is a lot less scary than throwing down in bony, variable snow. His little brother, Adam, unleashed a hell of a run in the junior comp yesterday, though, and could have pulled the win if he skied out of his last 3.
b0ssross tester got some big potential. I hope he stays in freeride and works on consistency.
snomasterI thought his run was the winner today for sure. great comp.
JLejtheres like 5 skiers on the freeride world tour with the Head Kore 111 and I got to try it recently and that ski is fucking magic. Its no wonder its on the podium every event. Absolute best freeride ski ive ever tried. The control and confidence you have on those skis is fucking goofy.
BigPurpleSkiSuitJeez this women's comp is brutal right now.
snomasterfinally watched this last eve and it was sooo worth it. I cannot wait to see the rest of the tour with more to come from others like ross tester and isaac freeland.
SitRoss is great to watch, but personally I can't handle Isaacs poo-stance.
mnosbodI thought after Jess Hotter's opener which was pretty solid that the others would tee off. Couldn't have been more wrong haha way too many of them hit the rocks on that small top hit. You would think after Pollard took it too slow they would figure it out but nope. They were practically stopping before the hit every single time
