Guangzhou – October 19, 2026 -- Outdoor brand KAILAS is now title sponsor of the Freeride World Tour (FWT) China Series for 2026/27, with four FWT Qualifier events planned at Jikepulin Ski Resort in Hemu, Altay, Xinjiang.

Two competition windows are set for Xinjiang

The qualifiers run December 9–15, 2026, and February 26–March 3, 2027. The series aims to connect Chinese riders with the international freeride competition pathway. Freeride skiing takes place on natural, ungroomed terrain, where athletes assess snow conditions and choose their own lines.

KAILAS founder Zhong Sir announced the sponsorship on October 14 at BEYOND THE GATE | KAILAS SNOW SEASON OPENING NIGHT in Guangzhou. The deal upgrades the brand's partnership with the series from the previous season.
