We're beyond stoked to host the inaugural Freeride World Tour Challenger here at Whistler Blackcomb this month!     As the first stop of the North American Challenger Series, this high-profile event will showcase the sport's most exciting up-and-coming athletes as they throw down on some of the best terrain we have to offer.   Freeriders will be tested in the awe-inspiring Diamond Bowl, of the infamous Spanky's Ladder on Blackcomb Mountain. Known for its steepness, challenging features and high snow quality, these athletes will have their nerves and skills tested to the limits.     Competition Day is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14. If you want to check out this adrenaline pumping action, be sure to make the trip to Blackcomb Glacier. Our friends at hellyhansenski will be setting up a spectator zone and athlete lounge on the Spanky's side of Glacier Road.     Photos by oisinmchughphoto   wbmtnevents ifsafreeriders  freerideworldtour  #FWT23 #ThisIsFreeride
