GoPro Named Official Camera of the 2025 Freeride World Tour, the World's Biggest Freeride Ski and Snowboard Competition

The World's Top Freeride Skiers and Snowboarders Compete Wearing GoPro Cameras to Deliver Thrilling POV and Action Content

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced its continued partnership for the 2025 season with the Freeride World Tour by Peak Performance, the ultimate ski and snowboard freeriding competition. Known for showcasing some of the world's most thrilling freeride content, the first three rounds of the 2025 Freeride World Tour have already generated more than 60 million video views across all Freeride World Tour and GoPro channels. On every stop of the tour, more than 50 athletes will wear helmet-mounted HERO13 Black cameras to capture their runs, including Ross Tester's winning run at the Baqueria Beret Pro last month.

"We're excited to select GoPro as the official camera of the Freeride World Tour and to continue our partnership for the 12th consecutive year," said Nicolas Hale-Woods, Freeride World Tour's founder. "GoPro raises the bar for capturing immersive content, bringing Freeride World Tour viewers into the action from every tour stop."

The Freeride World Tour runs from January 17 – March 30, 2025, with six events scheduled across North America and Europe. Throughout the series, GoPro content will be broadcast live on the Freeride World Tour's social media channels, featured on the GoPro Snow YouTube channel and distributed through select third-party platforms.

"The Freeride World Tour is the ultimate proving ground for our products," said GoPro's founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman. "We're excited to help fans experience freeriding from the athlete's perspective—sharing what it's like to feel the speed and the flow of a world-class skier or rider shredding the world's most challenging terrain."

When paired with HERO13 Black, GoPro's premium HB-Series Ultra Wide Lens Mod boosts the flagship camera's field of view (FOV) to 177°—36% wider and 48% taller than shots captured with its standard lens. It also maximizes HyperSmooth performance for unbreakable in-camera video stabilization with stunning 4K60 video resolution. With GoPro, skiers and riders can easily capture more in every shot with the highest level of video stabilization by simply attaching the lens and letting the camera adjust its setting accordingly.
