The Freeride World Tour is expanding this coming winter and it has just released a promo video to whet our appetites. There are 2 new venues this year for the men's event; St Moritz in Switzerland and Fieberbrunn in Austria. They joins the stages in Chamonix, Sochi, Kirkwood and Verbier.

We have already reported on the development here and about how the women's competition has been cut back drastically to just one event in Verbier.

This week the organisers have released a promotional video for the Freeride World Tour 2011.

Sit back and enjoy.......
