00:00Ski women, the next category, best suited, Lily Bradley, they are fired up.
00:14Lily Bradley is on the face here in Georgia and pinned already.
00:23They're heading towards this wind lip and catching some air off of it, managing to stick that.
00:29As Lily Bradley now catching that wind lip as a hip.
00:36And they're into this shoot over to these skiers left of this face and heading into a massive cliff band.
00:45Oh yeah, Lily Bradley have put themselves over a ton of exposure.
00:51We love to see it, that jump turn into the super smooth down through that heavily exposed section into a massive cliff.
01:04Derek, that is a spectacular run from Tahoe local, Lily Bradley.
01:14And we go back up to the top, the Swiss rider, Verbier local, Sybille Blanjon.
01:21And Sybille right into the heart of things.
01:26Wow, skiing like a veteran, Derek.
01:40Popping off this air now into the couloir, she's going to get her set up turn out there in the sunny powder.
01:45And now working away, there's lots of ways that you can take this section.
01:50There really is, it's a super creative zone.
01:53And interesting to see the way that the different women take it and that was big and fast, Derek.
01:58And I am really enjoying watching her just milk this bottom section.
02:05Next rider blowing our minds in their debut on the Freeride World Tour, the peak performance rider, Manon Lowski.
02:16Manon Lowski
02:24Making her way through this tricky, sharky technical section, lining up that exit, getting through it clean.
02:31Coming into this cliff band, let's see what Manon is going to line up because she can absolutely send it and stomp right off the nose.
02:37And to bolts, nothing is going to move her.
02:39She is such a solid rider, coming into this nose and a huge 360, staying in control.
02:51I wonder if she, you know, her and Astrid spend a lot of time together, is she going to line up a big one off this wind lip as well?
02:57Let's see, let's watch. Huge backy and just pulling it around to bolts, stomping it for Manon, finishing the run off with a bang.
03:05Look at how stoked she is. She knows what she just put down. That is going to be a run contending for the top spot.
03:14A former Polish slope style champ, Zuza Witek-Zuzana.
03:21She has got a bit of a locals advantage here, dropping in from start one.
03:25Also taking that spicy approach, like hit the whistle. Looking smooth, strong and solid.
03:31So Zuza Witek over some big exposure right now. Is she going to bite off this big dog? She is. And stomping, clean, controlling speed.
03:45Lining up another huge air, four point landing, looking super strong coming out of there.
03:51We're seeing Zuza now come into the same section. We saw Manon and clearing Manon's bomb hole, roasting off that air.
03:59A huge, huge launch from the Polish rider, Zuzana Witek, with a big statement here at SkiWomen.
04:07That run was an absolute heater. What a return to the tour.
04:13Riding out of La Clusaz, it is Astrid Seelius on course here in Fibregryd.
04:20And it looks like she is dropping out of start one in the same direction of her first run, which was fantastic.
04:26And it just had a small bubble that she could easily clean up.
04:33Different approach. Astrid came in from the side last time, and this time coming in directly from the top.
04:43Getting a little bit offline there. She's going to have to go in a bit of a strange direction over the rocks to get into this take-off pad.
04:50But managing it perfectly, and clean the crowd outside our tent, roaring for Astrid Seelius.
05:03Goes for the backy, brings it round, and looking pretty solid.
05:12And Astrid popping another one. Astrid Seelius now, is she going to bite off another chunk of this low mountain feature?
05:18We didn't really see too many of the SkiWomen take this, as the snow conditions on run one were very difficult down there.
05:25But Astrid handling it like a veteran.
05:35Nothing to it, but to do it. Hedvig Bessel, she is in contention for the title.
05:41So she is out of the gate, start one. Eyes on the prize, looking up her first feature.
05:48Super powerful skiing.
05:50And taking it as a double, Hedvig Bessel coming out with intention.
05:55As she gets high on this base, this is the most aggressive pace we've seen so far in the SkiWomen's category.
06:01Getting into that spicy zone there, finding her take-off. No hesitation taking it.
06:05No hesitation taking it. So long!
06:15Hedvig Bessel now with a couple of controlled turns, and lining up this bottom feature right off the nose.
06:23Going huge!
06:25Woohoo!
06:33Incredible run from the peak performance athlete. Full throttle from Hedvig Bessel, top to bottom.
06:41The speed and the intensity of that run.
06:44The look on Hedvig's face as it washes over her what's just happened.
06:54Woohoo!
