The perfect day doesn't happen in just one place

We've chased it through the Swiss Alps, across Patagonia until the end of the world, and into the Southern Alps of New Zealand. We're still looking.

Nendaz, Valais, Switzerland

The original. Where it all began. Where a group of friends turned an epic pandemic powder day into an event the whole freeski world is watching. Six editions deep in the Swiss Alps.

Presented by The North Face.

Previous editions:

Sugar Bowl, California, USA

The Sierra Nevada. Where Pacific storms hit the mountains in full force and dump some of the deepest snow in North America. Five hundred inches of snowfall per season, four peaks, and a backcountry that's been luring the best riders since 1939.

The quest for the perfect day lands in Tahoe.

First edition in:

Ushuaïa, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

We chased the perfect day to the end of the world. The Martial Glacier, Patagonia — raw, remote, and wide open. The first Backcountry Invitational outside Europe, and proof that this format works anywhere the mountain delivers.

Previous editions:

Treble Cone, New Zealand

The quest landed in the Southern Alps above Lake Wānaka. A stacked roster of Kiwi legends and international riders on one of the mountain's most iconic runs — natural gullies, cliff drops, and a course overlooking the lake. A perfect day on the other side of the world.
