Between the Lines

We follow Arianna Tricomi's preparations for the first stop of the Freeride World Tour. Not a fan of training plans, Arianna prefers to hit the mountains around Innsbruck with her 'crew' to ski, ski and ski some more. Will her approach pay off?

When Victor De Le Rue decided to enter the Freeride World Tour, it wasn’t to play it safe and calculate points to end up on top. In fact he will say it aloud: he’s focused instead on nailing his best possible run every single time.

Marion Haerty’s boardercross and slopestyle technique got her a spot on the Freeride World Tour and led to her first podium finishes. But this wasn’t enough for her. Haerty’s driving force is progression: to become better, faster and stronger.

From hitting rails in the park to throwing a butter off a cliff on Switzerland's mighty Bec des Rosses mountain, Markus Eder has the ability to make everything look easy – but does it all come that easy, really?

Riders will shout, sing, joke or be mute, all kind of behaviours and rituals to cope with the stress of competing on a high-consequence terrain. Kristofer Turdell on the other hand seems immune to fear. What’s the secret of the cold-blooded Swede?

Check out the final runs of Freeride World Tour 2019 from five of the top athletes. Marion Haerty, Markus Eder, Kristofer Turdell, Victor De Le Rue and Arianna Tricomi share their thoughts throughout the finale in Verbier, Switzerland.
