IFSA Challenger Stop #3
The America's Top Freeriders on the East Wall
This year Arapahoe Basin is hosting the final stop of the Challenger Series for the 2025 season. From April 16th to 18th the top 80+ competitors in the Qualifier Series will descend on A-Basin for their chance to show their skills on the East Wall and earn a spot on the Freeride World Tour. With its exposed faces, tight chutes, and high-alpine energy, A-Basin sets the stage for an unforgettable stop on the FWT Challenger tour.
More about the IFSA Challenger Series:
Introduced in 2022, the FWT Challenger is a series of high-pressure events between Pro freeriders and FWT Qualifiers who compete to qualify for the following year's FWT Pro circuit.
The FWT Pro Roster is made up of professional riders who haven't accumulated enough points to pass THE CUT and the top FWT Qualifier athletes from each region (Region 1: Europe-Asia-Ociania and Region: America).
The pressure on all riders is intense, but this series offers a golden opportunity for relegated FWT riders to requalify - or for others to qualify for the first time.
