An IFSA annual membership is tax deductible at $75/year (an increase from $60 2021-2024).
The IFSA runs Region 2, which includes the Americas. Region 1 is Europe, Asia And Oceania.
The best from each region, those top ranked by a certain cut off date for point accumulations, compete in an end of season Challenger Series for their region- which includes FWT athletes trying to keep their spot on the tour. The winners of those series get invited to the following season’s Freeride World Tour.

You can enter as many FWT Qualifier events as you want in a season, but only your top 3 results go towards your overall ranking.
Events are ranked 1-4 stars. The higher the star, the more the points it’s worth per placing… and the higher the registration fee.
Acceptance order into an event is capped at a percentage of entries and based on your 52 week seeding list ranking or a wild card.
The North American FWT Qualifier 2025 schedule was released November 1st and started mid January 2025.
My dream is to compete in the South American circuit in July and August.
While a series sponsorship for registration fees alone would be huge at $1-2k, individual events range from $100-$250.

An Epic or Ikon Pass sponsorship saves the need to purchase tickets at most resorts on the schedule, ~$800 for each. It can be up to $200 for a single day lift ticket so if you go at least 1 week on the pass, it has paid for itself.
I moved to Springfield, Missouri in January of 2024 and have been competing out of the Midwest the past 2 seasons.
I learned there are 2 Missouri ski resorts 3-4 hours away. Hidden Valley near St. Louis and Snow Creek near Kansas City are open a short span from Christmas til the beginning of February.
It’s going to be harder than ever keeping my over 8 years snowboarding once a month streak going & competing for the Freeride World Tour from the Midwest, but I’m up for the challenge & need sponsors now more than ever.

For my 1st FWT Qualifier season, I was living out of my 1999 Honda CR-V I purchased January for the 2021 tour. It’s pictured here at my very 1st FWQ comp, the Grand Targhee 2*. The engine blew on my way back to Gunnison from Purgatory Resort’s closing day 5/14/23.

I bought a 2004 Honda Pilot 7/18/23, which I nicknamed HA-PPY because we both needed sponsors with it having 240k+ miles. HA-PPY’s engine blew in between Breckenridge and Taos competitions last year, but not before I won my 1st Gilmore sized check.
I decided to use my tax return towards a downpayment vs another cheaper vehicle that might not last me as long again. I’m incredibly grateful to join #TeamToyota (not officially sponsored by @ToyotaUSA… yet).

The 2024 season provided me my 1st time flying for a competition, which was also my 1st time to Canada for Revelstoke and Kicking Horse 4* stops. While there, I rented and stayed in a minivan through Enterprise.
I was also able to fly to the Snowbird 4* competition where I was fortunate enough to stay with friends, utilize TRAX- SLC’s light rail system- and ride share.
For the 2025 season, I flew to Canada again and to Tahoe from there before returning home. 3 one-way tickets versus a round-trip booking with United got me bonus points to use for a future flight.
In Canada, I again acquired a rental vehicle through Enterprise and used Wyndham rewards points for hotel stays. In Tahoe, I stayed at a friend’s house and was able to borrow their truck for transportation, and used the bus to the airport, the South Tahoe Airporter.
Both seasons I flew with United Airlines to earn mileage points and paid via Affirm- an online monthly payment option- I’m still paying off two of this year’s flights.

I also don’t mind ”roughing it” with my Colman classic camping stove, bringing things from home or supporting local grocers and farmers markets. Brands like Coleman, Yeti, Goal Zero, Honda, Toyota, Yakima and Airstream are dream sponsors.
