Later this season, Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) and Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing (STHS) will host a stop on the 2023 Natural Selection Tour, a competition featuring the world鈥檚 top snowboarders to compete in head-to-head competition.

鈥淩evelstoke Mountain Resort hosting the Natural Selection Tour is going to be mind-blowing,鈥 said Dustin Craven, Revelstoke-local and 2022 Natural Selection Baldface winner in a press release.

STHS and RMR are working hard with the Natural Selection Tour to create an incredible competition.

The tour, now in its third year, was created by snowboarder Travis Rice and hopes to provide a showcase for the world鈥檚 top riders while also inspiring people to 鈥榝orge a deeper relationship with the outdoors鈥.

The tour kicks off in rider-selected free-riding venues that will showcase 24 riders, half of which are established names in the sport and the other half who are challenger riders from around the world and will be broadcasted in Feb. 2023.

Then, from March 4 - 11, the eight men and four women to come out on top of Natural Selection DUELS will come together for the YETI Natural Selection Revelstoke at RMR.

Revelstoke was seen as a 鈥榥atural fit鈥 for the event because of its diverse, big mountain terrain, with high quality, light snow and consistent snowfall. The tour also hopes to highlight the community through events hosted by Tourism Revelstoke and the provincial government.

After Revelstoke, the 12 riders head to a venue outside of Valdez, Alaska from March 25 through April 1 to crown a champion.
