Sadly there was no Freeride World Tour in Chamonix this year, due to lack of snow and poor conditions. 

Organisers were trying to see if the competition could take place in Courmayeur and even above Emosson Dam, but to no avail. There just wasn't anywhere safe enough for the event to take place. 

Now the first leg will be taking place in Vallnord, Andorra where the second leg will also be taking place from 9th to 16th February 2017. You can watch all the action live on the Freeride World Tour website and get all the latest updates via their facebook page
