| 4/17/26 |  Natural Selection Ski - RECAP | Freeride Guide 2026 | This is the Full RECAP of the second edition of Natural Selection Ski. NST originally planned on holding the competition on, "Spine Cell", a gnarly, big mountain Alaskan face. Due to weather, and an avalanche, the organization had to do a hard pivot to a safer, rolling venue that resembled a backcountry terrain park set up. The shift from a freeride venue to one more suited to freestyle worked perfectly as the athletes put on a show to remember. We're joined by guest host and former FWT rider Tom Peiffer to break down all the action! 00:00 Welcome Special Guest Host - Tom Peiffer 5:24 NST Ski - Venue Changes 14:09 - Super Sessions - Palisades Tahoe 19:40 - NST Alaska Judging - "CREDO" 25:10 - Competition Format 44:48 - Ski Men - Rounds 1&2 59:36 - Ski Women - Rounds 1&2 1:10:09 -Ski Women Final 1:16:28 - Ski Men Final Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zuaqMte6Rvs The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguidepodcast.com If you like the show, please SUBSCRIBE and Listen to every new episode! -------- About the Hosts: Mark Warner is the Host of the Low Pressure Podcast: The Podcast for Skiers.

| 3/29/26 |  EVENT RECAP - YETI Xtreme Verbier | FWT26 | The 2026 YETI Xtreme Verbier was everything we hoped it would be. The final event of the FWT26 season bucked the trend of cancelled events, shortened events and unfortunate weather. The riders were welcomed with sunny, blue skies, cold temps and 50cms of fresh snow on the famous Bec des Rosses. They took advantage of these perfect conditions to battle for the right to be crowned the FWT 2026 World Champion... and they put on a show! 0:00 - INTRO x Event Set Up & Weather 9:05 - SNOWBOARD MEN 21:11 - SKI MEN 31:27 - BACKSLAP Inbox 44:07 - SKI WOMEN 57:30 - SNOWBOARD WOMEN 1:03:00 - HEADS Up Moment 1:06:00 - Fun Bet Results 1:09:53 - Challenger Series Updates Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lj5SK9HMuHE The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguide.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 3/16/26 |  EVENT RECAP - YETI Alaska Haines Pro | FWT26 | The Freeride World Tour returned to Haines Alaska for the first of two final events. This is the full EVENT RECAP. The riders here have not only qualified for the final two events this season but they've also punched their tickets to the tour in 2027. For some, the pressure was off so they could really push their limits. For others the possibility of becoming FWT Champion has only added more pressure. This is the first time in 8 years the FWT riders had a chance to prove themselves on a true Alaskan Face. They did not dissappoint! 3:30 - Comp Day Conditions 12:55 - Snowboard Men 19:00 Snowboard Women 23:07 Derek's Head's Up Moment 28:53 - Ski Women 41:15 - Ski Men 1:00:00 Mark's Head's up Moment 1:02:07 BACKSLAP Inbox 1:08:00 FUN BET 1:09:40 IFSA / Challenger Series Updates Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/X6JZkStsGPQ The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguidepodcast.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 3/11/26 |  Fieberbrunn Cancelled & THE CUT | FWT26 | This is one instance where the third time definitely isn't a charm. The Fieberbrunn Pro was cancelled adding another failed event to the pile after two attempts to run the Georgia Pro. Once in Georgia and once in Kühtai, Austria. In a season where the athletes expected four events before The CUT, they only got two and it shook things up! We talk about who made it and who didn't, including a tidal wave of rookies going to Alaska and and a few former FWT Champions who won't be moving on. 0:00 Welcome 5:53 - Fieberbrunn Pro Cancelled - 3rd Event in a Row THE CUT 17:00 Snowboard Women 24:38 Snowboard Men 28:00 Challenger Region 1 & 2 Format Discussion 33:25 Ski Women 41:30 Ski Men Watch This Episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/XPRNXQNvugo The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguide.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 3/5/26 |  Exclusive Interview | FWT Commissioner Lolo Besse | The FWT has had to make some difficult decisions this season. Suspending the World Championships with 5 riders still to drop. Cancelling the Georgia Pro event in Georgia. Choosing a replacement event in Kühtai and then having to cancel that event. Those decisions partly fall on the shoulders of FWT Commissioner, Lolo Besse. In this exclusive interview he guides us through the process of making these decisions and the variables that informed them. 0:00 - Intro 6:26 - Welcome Lolo Besse 8:30 - World Championships 11:45 - Possible adjustments in drop order and how drone footage runs could judged 21:00 - Georgia Cancelled Twice - Adjustment to Kühtai 24:55 - Potential Controversy in Kühtai Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lULzG8Rz2fk The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguidepodcast.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 3/1/26 |  Was a Potential Controversy Averted in Austria!? | If it weren't for bad luck the FWT wouldn't have any luck at all this season. The cancelled FWT Georgia Pro event was quickly restaged in Kühtai, Austria. Once again though, the competition was cancelled due to incontestable snow conditions and the athletes are leaving without putting down a run... well, most of them are. After the only two riders of the day, Ben Richards and Joey Leonardo, crossed the finish line with really disappointing runs, the potential controversy begins there. The broadcast audio picked up a message from an operations microphone that instructed the two riders to go back up in order to take their runs again when the snow gets better. That's where things get interesting! 00:40 - Welcome Welcome Welcome 5:15 - Georgia restaged in Kühtai Austria 8:47 - "Schoffi" Competition Face 10:44 - Same Comp Cancelled Twice?! 14:37 - Competition Start & Controversy 50:33 Backslap Emails Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JraOqpZpjAQ The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguide.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 2/8/26 |  EVENT RECAP - FIS FWT26 World Championships | This is the RECAP of the first ever Allianz Andorra 2026 Ordino Arcalis FIS Freeride World Championships by Mammut. In this special FWT event, the athletes weren't just riding with their country's flag on their shoulders, they were directly representing their home country. The roster was a little bigger and a little different from the season circuit and we were treated to excellent conditions, some great runs and a very controversial finish to the Ski Women's event. 6:30 - Event Conditions / Delayed Start 19:05 - BACKSLAP Emails 30:10 - Snowboard Men 40:30 - Snowboard Women 51:02 - Ski Men 1:09:03 - Ski Women 1:31:49 - IFSA Update Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YkttQWiXcF4 The Freeride Guide is Supported By: Surefoot Custom Ski Boots HEAD -Tyrolia KORE Collection Send us an email to the BACKSLAP INBOX - Tell us what your hot take is and we might read it on the show. backslap@freerideguide.com Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along!

| 1/28/26 |  EVENT RECAP - Val Thorens Pro| FWT26 Stop #2 | This is the full RECAP of the FWT26 Val Thorens Pro. The second event of the season proved challenging for the Ski Men. A specific feature proved, many times over, that 360's were actually superior to backflips. An Argentinian topped the podium for the first time ever in Ski Women and local athletes took top spots in the Snowboard Men and Women's categories. To add a little spice, there was a bit of controversy amongst all the spectacular action too.

At the center was the variability and grandeur of Mother Nature herself—who once again proved to be both an inspiration and a formidable challenger.

| 3/24/25 |  YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda RECAP | FWT25 - The FINAL | This is the FULL event RECAP for the sixth and final event of the 2025 Freeride World Tour season; The 30th anniversary of the YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda. We saw some spectacular performances as well as some heartbreaking moments on the way to crowning 3 new World Champions as well as 4 first time winners in Verbier. The Legendary Bec des Rosses presented an extra challenge in the way of a very thin and dangerous snowpack which is something the athletes have been familiar with this year. It wasn't safe to drop in from the top this year so the riders had to choose from 3 separate start gates on the Bec and Petit Bec. 00:00 - Intro / Surefoot 13:23 - SNOWBOARD MEN 24:45 - SKI MEN 47:54 - SKI WOMEN 1:03:17 - BACKSLAP | Fan Emails ** 1:14:00 - SNOWBOARD WOMEN Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YJ_Bw-_DZso ** Lily Bradley LPP Interview - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lDG1CFKsJLTI7zPQolfmk?si=404499794e3e4296 ---- WE HAVE MERCH!!

| 3/9/25 |  Fieberbrunn Pro RECAP | FWT25 Stop #5 - The CUT | This is the FULL event RECAP for the fifth event of the 2025 Freeride World Tour season at Fieberbrunn Austria which was the final event before The Cut. We saw some spectacular clutch performances which propelled some riders above the cut line and disappointing runs that dropped some below. Due to challenging snow conditions, only 3 of the 4 categories were able to compete. The FWT deemed the Wildseeloder face unable to accommodate the full roster riders and postponed the Ski Men. Ultimately after assessing the weather over the week to come, the Ski Men's event was cancelled leaving the current rankings to determine the cut riders. 00:00 Intro / Surefoot 00:29 - SKI MEN Competition Cancelled 19:22 - SKI WOMEN 31:00 - Cut Dynamics / Challenger Series 40:23 - SNOWBOARD WOMEN 51:16 - SNOWBOARD MEN Watch This Episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/thKUjRjtZbI ---- * The Freeride Guide is Supported By* Surefoot Skiing - Custom Ski Boots Insta360 4X Action Cam - Get a FREE Accessory w/ Code "lowpressure" Skull Candy Headphones - 15% OFF w/ Code "WELCOME15" --- Send us an email!

| 3/5/25 |  Georgia Pro RECAP | FWT25 Stop #4 | Part 2 of 2 - This is the full RECAP of the FWT25 Georgia Pro Featuring Guest Host: Drew Tabke The fourth event of the 2025 FWT season only saw only about a 50% success rate in the athletes' runs. The riders returned to the Kakhiani face this year after having to change the venue twice during the lengthy weather window. The conditions were challenging which included several small, rider triggered avalanches during the event. It was an interesting one.
