Marcus Goguen is the 2024 Freeride World Tour Champion. He opens up about the whirlwind year that led to his world title, what it's like navigating the business side of skiing at a young age, and how he's balancing competition, personal growth, and future planning.

Marcus shares insights into his journey of finding an agent, managing real estate investments, and choosing independent study to enhance his knowledge, all while staying focused on skiing, and building a side hustle in fitness content. We also talk about how injury protection and in-season maintenance keep him sharp, and his views on how the Freeride World Tour compares to Natural Selection. We wrap things up with what’s next as he begins to carve his own path both on and off the mountain.

This is the FULL event RECAP for the inaugural YETI Natural Selection Ski Following the footsteps of it's snowboarding origins NST SKI is carving a bold new line into skiing’s history books with a new way to approach freeride competition.

12 skiers faced "Priority 1", one of Alaska’s most legendary big mountain venues, with a single mission: create a film-quality, freestyle-meets-freeride line in real-time. At the center was the variability and grandeur of Mother Nature herself—who once again proved to be both an inspiration and a formidable challenger.

This is the FULL event RECAP for the sixth and final event of the 2025 Freeride World Tour season; The 30th anniversary of the YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda.

We saw some spectacular performances as well as some heartbreaking moments on the way to crowning 3 new World Champions as well as 4 first time winners in Verbier. The Legendary Bec des Rosses presented an extra challenge in the way of a very thin and dangerous snowpack which is something the athletes have been familiar with this year. It wasn't safe to drop in from the top this year so the riders had to choose from 3 separate start gates on the Bec and Petit Bec.
