Freeridový ošiaľ sa vracia aj v sezóne 2012. Päť rokov sa najlepší freeskieri sveta stretávajú na vrcholoch hôr po celom svete, aby prezentovali svoje umenie pred celou freeridovou planétou. Po posledných dvoch ročníkoch plných ohromujúceho progresu, očakávajú organizátori podobný scénár aj v novom ročníku tour. Špička sa rozrastá a mladé talenty poriadne šlapú starým ostrieľaným harcovníkom na päty. Kto bude ďalším freeride šampiónom? To sa dozvieme už o pár mesiacov.
Aj v tejto sezóne sa Freeride World Tour delí na FWQ (freeride world qualification) - dvadsiatka pretekov, kde je potrebné zbierať body. Najlepší freerideri budú v nasledujúcej sezóne odmenení štartom v hlavnej súťaži FWT (freeride world tour), ktorá sa v tomto roku skladá zo štyroch veľmi kvalitných pretekov. Vypadlo Sochi v Rusku, pribudla nová destinácia Røldal v Nórsku.
Nesmieme tiž zabudnúť na juniorskú sériu Freeride Juniors, ktorá otvára dvere najlepším mladým freeriderom do sveta profesionálneho extrémneho lyžovania.
