The anticipation is building as riders watch the snow stack up in the legendary peaks near the Mont Blanc Massif.

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France – Monday, February 1, 2016 – After an action-packed first stop in the lofty peaks of the Andorran Pyrenees, riders and fans alike are making the pilgrimage to one of the Alps’ most important freeride destinations: Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.

To ensure the best possible riding conditions, the weather window for the competition has been extended from Friday the 5th to Saturday the 13th of February. Despite the snow arriving late this season, significant snowfall accompanied by cooler temperatures are expected to freshen up the potential venues on Wednesday the 3rd and Sunday the 7th of February.

As a result of the variability of the weather, guides and event organizers have not yet confirmed the competition face or date, but a final decision will be made on Wednesday, February 3 in the afternoon.

As the anticipation and excitement builds during the coming days, join in on the stoke in the FWT event village in the Chamonix town center where you can meet FWT fans and riders in Place Balmat for a raffle, photo exhibits, and a DJ set.
