Bansko will host the Freeride World Tour Qualifier 3 for the fourth consecutive year from March 21 to 23. Nearly 150 competitors from over 20 countries are expected to participate in the competition. The starting point is at 2746 meters on Todorka Peak. 

The competition will be held in four categories: skiing and snowboarding (men and women), and for the second consecutive year there will also be a junior participation in the Freeride World Tour Junior. The evaluation of the participants will be formed by criteria such as the difficulty of the selected line on the slope, control during the entire descent, ease of performing the individual elements, technique and complexity of the jumps.

The fan zone will be located at 2550 meters above sea level, offering a perfect view of the slope.
