"After stepping away from the Freeride World Tour, one of the most naturally gifted freeriders of his generation charges into a comeback season that's bigger, heavier, and more electrifying than anything he's done before."
"It's an honor to receive a wildcard. I'm really excited to have another opportunity to be a part of the FWT circuit and show my best skiing I possibly can.The things I'm most looking forward to this season is crushing some lines at some of the new stops and at some of the classics. I'm also stoked to hang with the other riders and see what everyone brings to the game this year. There's some stacked fields. It should be exciting!"
"A look into the thoughts and decisions behind my year off and return."
