Its amazing that after 12 years the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour is returning to the original South American freeskiing venue, Las Lenas Argentina," said FWT Competition Director Bryan Barlow. "It's a true fit for the tour as the mountains are truly unrivaled in the world, allowing the athletes to showcase their progressive big mountain freesking skills that has accelerated freeskiing popularity and awareness to the mainstream around the world. The conditions are shaping up to be a stellar snow year, and the elite that show up are in store for an incredible competition."
