Pitztal Wild Face

What's it about?

The Pitztal Wild Face is a timed race that is not judged based on the line taken, as is usual in Freeride World Qualifier events. It takes place on the north face of Mittagskogel, and 80 riders, plus the 5 winners from the previous year, can participate. The start numbers are assigned at the Riders Meeting after the mandatory course inspection the day before. There are four categories: men's and women's ski, and men's and women's snowboard. Since 2013, the Pitztal Wild Face has been held under the umbrella of the Freeride World Tour as a Freeride World Qualifier event. The Pitztal Wild Face is a 2-star Qualifier event of the Freeride World Tour, but it is an exception due to its extraordinary format. Depending on the category and placement, the men's and women's ski and snowboard riders can earn points for the Freeride World Qualifier series, which they need to qualify for the main tour.
