Arc 1950 Freeride Week

The Arc 1950 Freeride Week competition, scheduled for 18 to 24 January, has been postponed to 17 to 21 March.

Although the snow cover on the marked runs is excellent, the recent windy snowfalls have made the snow cover uneven off-piste. In the interests of rider safety, and in agreement with the piste safety service, we have decided to postpone the event.

Presentation

The Freeride World Qualifier consists of around fifty competitions organised all over the world, bringing together the best freeriders. Each event is graded from 2* to 4*: the more stars a race has, the more points it earns for the winners. The riders with the most points from the Qualifier events are selected for the Freeride World Tour.

Competitions Freeride World Qualifier follow the same model as the Freeride World Tour competitions: judging, format, safety... The only changes are the difficulty of the routes, the altitude differences and access to certain exposed areas.
More and more talented youngsters are turning to off-piste terrain, following in the footsteps of their elders in the Freeride World Qualifier, and dreaming of gaining access to the prestigious elite tour of the Freeride World Tour.
