THE NORTH FACE FRONTIER 2026 HIGHLIGHT FILM IS LIVE 🔥

That’s a wrap on Frontier 2026.

Bluebird skies for the 2*, fresh snow for the 4*. Big lines, bigger airs and a few decisions that looked questionable from the bottom.

Huge thanks to the athletes, crew, volunteers, spectators and sponsors who make the madness happen.

Missed it or want to relive it? The Frontier Highlight Film is LIVE on YouTube. Go watch the whole damn thing. https://youtu.be/mA5bVCPZyv0

THE PEOPLE 💛

You don’t pull off the Frontier with just a few good riders and a mountain full of snow.

It takes the volunteers, patrollers, judges, Remarks maintenance crew (cheers for keeping the generators alive 😉), sausage sizzlers, media crew, the commentators yapping for hours on end, organisers, sponsors, supporters, athletes and the many more legends behind the scenes. (Not all pictured)

The early starts, the long days, the weather that really tested the patience, the countless jobs that somehow all needed doing at once, you lot made it happen.

Big ups to everyone who put in the mahi and our sponsors , , .effectbrewing the Frontier wouldn’t be the Frontier without you 🤝

Good yarns, great people and a whole lot of community 🤝🏔️

Last night’s North Face Meet & Greet was a chance to share stories and bring our community together. Plenty of laughs, new connections and a few goodies to take home too.

Big thanks to The North Face crew for a bloody good night!

Last night was for the Wāhine 💫

A night built around community, connection and collaboration, bringing together women from across the Frontier family and the wider ski industry.

From Juniors and Qualifiers through to Pros, judges, coaches and industry crew, it was awesome to see generations come together, share experiences, ideas and opportunities, and support one another.

Here’s hoping this is the start of a regular fixture on the Frontier calendar, creating more opportunities to connect, collaborate and grow together both on and off the hill 🫶

A massive thank you to B.effect for hosting us and for being our social event hub 💛

Yeah the girls!!
