Freeride World Tour 2021. Ordino Arcalis (2) Winning Runs

With the FWT stop in Hakuba, Japan canceled this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, athletes got a second crack in Andorra. The Port del Rat Face was again the chosen venue – this time with a third start gate offering further creative options and a fresh layer of snow to entice the athletes to go even bigger.


Andrew Pollard (USA) charged his line in absolute beast mode to take his maiden win on the FWT. He flew out of the gates into a massive 360 and never took his foot off the gas. A rapid double through the middle section flowed into an insane air at high-speed.



Elisabeth Gerritzen (SUI) wowed the judges with a creative approach to her line. Showing no hesitation in the steeps, she spun a huge 360 amongst some serious exposure, then sent multiple airs through the rest of her run at high-speed and fluidity to earn the top spot.



Marion Haerty (FRA) backed up last week’s win with another stellar display, picking a technical line through the top section and sending a huge drop to exit. The rest of her run was feature-packed with multiple airs done with a stack of fluidity.



The rookie, Blake Moller (USA), went one better today with a powerful display of snowboarding. Ollying out of the start gate with confidence, he then sent a backside-360 in the steeps, before an ultra-technical middle section, combining a 180 into a double drop with a 180 in the middle. Topping it off with a huge air to take the win.
