Freeride World Qualifier
The Freeride World Qualifier is the sister tour of the main Freeride World Tour. Four of the events also allow qualification to their main FWT event. So for example, the winner of the North Face Masters at Snowbird qualifies for the Nissan Tram Face in Squaw etc.
For all the events, competitors are seeking The Freeride World Ranking point.
