St. Anton and Arc’teryx know how to host a freeride event. Easy to reach, solid infrastructure, and terrain that makes you question your route choices mid-run. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but if you’re going to spend money on snowboarding, this is one of the places to do it. From February 6 to 9, the 4th edition of the Arc’teryx Freeride Academy turned the town into a playground for powder chasers, safety enthusiasts, and everyone in between.
