In the overall FWT rankings, Walker’s second-place finish in Verbier was enough to cement her as the 2016 Overall FWT Champion in the women’s ski category, with Jackie Paaso taking second and Italian rookie Arianna Tricomi slipped into third, narrowly edging Wallner off the overall podium.

After the snowboard and ski women and the snowboard men had their turn on the Bec des Rosses, a long delay set in as the ski men waited for visibility to improve. After a delay of several hours, the decision was made to postpone the men’s final until today, when better conditions are anticipated. The men’s final is currently scheduled to start at 9:15AM CET – check out the livestream over at freerideworldtour.com.
