EVENT RECAP - YETI Xtreme Verbier | FWT26

The 2026 YETI Xtreme Verbier was everything we hoped it would be. The final event of the FWT26 season bucked the trend of cancelled events, shortened events and unfortunate weather. The riders were welcomed with sunny, blue skies, cold temps and 50cms of fresh snow on the famous Bec des Rosses. They took advantage of these perfect conditions to battle for the right to be crowned the FWT 2026 World Champion... and they put on a show!
