The FIS Freeski and Snowboard Park & Pipe World Cup tours are back in action this week for the first competitions following the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, with slopestyle action set to take to the slopes of Georgia’s Bakuriani resort for World Championship test events from 3-6 March, 2022.
With some challenging weather forecast for Friday, the adjusted schedule for Bakuriani will now see both freeski and snowboard qualifications taking place on Thursday, with the freeskiers leading things off at 10:15 local time, followed by the snowboarders at 12:00. Freeski finals are then slated for Saturday at 11:00, with snowboard finals set to go down on Sunday, also at 11:00 local time.
Bakuriani won the right to host the 2023 FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships in a unanimous vote back in 2018, and since then the Georgian Ski Federation and the Local Organising Committee, along with Bakuriani Resort, have invested a phenomenal amount of time, effort and resources in preparing the venue for what will be one of the biggest sporting events in the country’s history once the world champs roll into town next season.
