SWATCH FREERIDE WORLD TOUR 2015 HAINES - ALASKA
The Swatch Freeride World Tour 2015 Alaska stop in Haines is confirmed for today March 17th 2015 with first start at 10am (AKDT) (= 7pm CET).
This week is the first time the Freeride World Tour stops in Haines, Alaska. The riders have been on hold since Saturday waiting for a snow storm to settle so that the face could be secured. The venue has now been secured by the Seaba Heli and FWT guides and everything is ready. In order to not miss the weather window, a decision has been made to go ahead and hold the contest today.
The start order of the competition is Ski Men, then Snowboard Men, Ski Women and Snowboard Women.
There is the possibility of having a World Champion crowned in three of the four categories already at this stop, so it promises to be extremely exciting.
The name of the face is The Venue and it offers everything you can dream of from an Alaskan event.
