Lucas Herbert/Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
The final stop of the International Freeskiers Association’s Challenger series is set to take place at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area from April 16-18.
Eighty of America’s top freeride athletes will be featured at the competition, ready to vie for a spot on the Freeride World Tour. The competition will take place on the precarious, but adored East Wall. Made up of exposed faces, tight chutes and a peak over 13,000 feet, East Wall sets the ideal stage for an unforgettable stop on the Challenger series.
Spectators are welcome to come watch the competition from Black Mountain Lodge or Steilhang and enjoy an on-mountain vendor village.
A livestream will be provided at Freeskier.com.
