Every winter, FREESKIER tracks the Freeride World Tour with an eagle's eye. From comp recaps to athlete interviews, we're here for all of it. But what the hell happens when the start gate comes down and our favorite skiers begin planning for the next stop? That's where "NUB TV" comes in.

The new series from our friends at Armada follows Ben Richards, Toby Rafford and friends as they navigate the ins and outs of the 2026 FWT season. Rafford and Richards currently sit in the number one and two spots in this season's ski men's rankings, respectively. So it's only fitting that we get to look behind the curtain as these two plot their world domination.

Pow laps, comp line examinations, side hits, a few late nights and a few hearty straight lines; "NUB TV" is serving up the action we love to see. Look below for the full episode and behind-the-scenes photos from the talented Daniel Rönnbäck, and stay tuned for Episode Two dropping soon.
