Debuting in February 2021 with stops at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming; Baldface Lodge, British Columbia; and Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, Alaska; the Natural Selection Tour showcases the world’s top riders from Olympians to big mountain film icons all competing on the planet’s most naturally enhanced terrain.
The best all-mountain freestyle riders in the world will move through the tour culminating with the crowning of a men’s and women’s champion at the Alaskan final. The Natural Selection Tour says that its mission is to inspire people to forge a deeper relationship with Mother Nature.
The competition follows a two-run, head-to-head format allowing for a third tie-breaker run if needed. Of the 24 riders who competed on opening day qualifiers, 12 riders advanced to the second day of competition.
Riders are judged utilizing the Overall Impression Judging System to take advantage of the spontaneous flow of the riders and to allow the judges to take the whole run into consideration. Judging focuses on the rider’s chosen line and risk, flow and amplitude, creativity and tricks, and finally, control.
The winners will advance to the HempFusion Natural Selection at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, where a men’s and women’s champion will be crowned.
