Around the Quellspitze (the \u2018Face\u2019), freeride pros from all over the world will tackle the rough, intimidating and at the same time fascinating slope. The runs of the top freeride event start at an altitude of 2,690 metres. And before the spectacular descent after the ascent, the freeriders have to decide on a route right at the drop-in because there is no test run! This makes it all the more impressive when they race down the untouched slope with a gradient of up to 60 per cent at breathtaking speeds, casually performing giant jumps with turns and somersaults in the deep snow.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Open Faces Freeride Series - Season 2025!\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_nyaBdniHPPc\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FnyaBdniHPPc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nyaBdniHPPc\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT49S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-11-26T11:55:51Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_nyaBdniHPPc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FnyaBdniHPPc%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Open Faces Freeride Series - Season 2025!<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/nyaBdniHPPc\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FnyaBdniHPPc%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Open Faces Freeride Series - Season 2025!\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Get ready for the Open Faces Freeride Series 2025\u2014where adrenaline meets alpine excellence!

To earn points for FWT qualification in the contests, freeriders have to give it their all. This is because the descents or \u2018faces\u2019 at the freeride ski events are rated from one to four stars depending on their degree of difficulty. And the more stars a qualifying event has, the more points the athletes can earn there.<\/p>\n<p>After the season opener in Kappl (3 stars), the action moves to the deep snow of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/austria\/gaschurn\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ski area Silvretta Montafon<\/a>. And, of course, it will be held off-piste on the slopes of the small Heimspitze peak. Starting at an altitude of 2,420 metres, the pros will demonstrate their skills and conquer the mountain on adventurous lines. In some cases, they will have to overcome gradients of around 60 per cent. In the \u2018Nova Stoba\u2019 public area, spectators have the best view of the face and can admire details or replays on the LED video wall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"BEST ACTION | FWQ\/FJT Alpbachtal - Open Faces Freeride Series 2025\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_d__Wp-vRhbM\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd__Wp-vRhbM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d__Wp-vRhbM\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M11S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-02-03T20:35:45Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_d__Wp-vRhbM\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd__Wp-vRhbM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">BEST ACTION | FWQ\/FJT Alpbachtal - Open Faces Freeride Series 2025<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/d__Wp-vRhbM\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fd__Wp-vRhbM%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"BEST ACTION | FWQ\/FJT Alpbachtal - Open Faces Freeride Series 2025\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Last weekend, juniors and rookies faced off at the legendary Wiedersbergerhorn in Ski Juwel Alpbachtal, competing side by side in the \u201cBest Rookie Event.\u201d From explosive lines to show-stopping tricks, these highlights capture the adrenaline and passion of freeriding at its finest!\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><br\/><span class=\"lyte_disclaimer\">Please also note that by using our services and integrating the YouTube API Services, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/t\/terms\">YouTube Terms of Service<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/youtube\/terms\/api-services-terms-of-service-emea\">YouTube API Services Terms<\/a> apply and your use of our website is deemed to be acceptance of these terms.<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The next Open Faces event will take place in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/austria\/alpbach\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ski area Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildsch\u00f6nau<\/a>.
