KICKING HORSE GOLDEN BC, Canada – February 5, 2025: The Kicking Horse Golden BC Pro will occur on Friday, February 7, at the Ozone face. A key stop on the tour since 2018, this venue is known for its steep chutes, technical terrain, and freestyle-friendly features. A consistent snowpack and a fresh 12 inches (30 centimetres) of snowfall set conditions for an exciting competition.

Ozone: A Freeride Playground

The Ozone face at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is one of the most dynamic venues on the Freeride World Tour. With 1,063 feet (324 meters) of vertical drop and a maximum gradient of 44 degrees, the terrain blends big mountain and freestyle elements, allowing riders to choose their approach.

The venue naturally divides into two zones. The looker’s right is steep and technical, with cliffs, chutes, and complex lines suited for big mountain specialists. The looker’s left features a massive cornice ridge, offering the perfect platform for freestyle tricks, spins, and stylish airs.

Among Ozone’s most iconic features is the Sasaki Pyramid, where Max Hitzig made history with a spectacular backflip. Will another rider take on the challenge this year?

FWT Commissioner Laurent Besse said, “Ozone is one of the most aesthetic venues of the whole Tour,” highlighting its mix of technical difficulty and creative freeriding.
