Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FWT CEO Nicolas Hale-Woods - Season End Interview
Q: Are you concerned at all that with the extra slots, you may be bringing in some riders that may not have qualified for the tour, and how that might look?
We won't have beginners qualify for the World Championships, as you need to be in the top 60 percent of a four-star event to be a potential world championship rider.
FWT CEO Nicolas Hale-Woods - Season End Interview
Q: What is the difference between the two different systems of Challenger events in North America and Region 1?
The conclusion in Region 1 was that we were too dependent on spring weather to have good, legitimate contests and decided to go back to a full series with solid events instead.
FWT CEO Nicolas Hale-Woods - Season End Interview
Q: So tell me a little bit about how that came about. What was kind of the process, the desire, kind of the behind the scenes workings in order to get that to happen?
We did not go back to Alaska for purely financial reasons. Going to Alaska adds a dimension to the tour. Knowing an event in Alaska costs a little more than an event on the continent.
Natural Selection Ski RECAP - w/ Manon Loschi & Craig Murray
Q: How did you prepare for Natural Selection Ski compared to your time in the Freeride World Tour?
I approached it with a different mindset, similar to filming rather than competing, focusing on creativity and flow rather than strict scoring.
Natural Selection Ski RECAP - w/ Manon Loschi & Craig Murray
Q: What was your experience like at Natural Selection Ski?
It was incredible to be invited and experience Alaska, participating with all these skiers and winning was the cherry on top.
