En av årets store høydepunkt innen snowboarding, Natural Selection Tour, starter denne uken! I år har vi hele tre norske deltakere med. Her finner dere all info om konkurransen.

Søndag 19. februar tar det første av tre eventer i touren plass. I år har vi med Torstein Horgmo, Mikkel Bang som vant i 2021, og Ulrik Badertscher som skal delta for første gang. Nytt for året er at første konkurranse er en duell:

"Natural Selection DUELS is a head-to-head backcountry contest to advance on to the final two stops of the Tour in Revelstoke, British Columbia and Valdez, Alaska. In the month of January, our 8 returning men and 4 returning women from last year’s Tour are drawn against a “challenger,” or in other words, a rider who was not on the Tour last winter. The returning rider will select the terrain to be DUELED upon, and when weather permits, will go head-to-head in a four-run format in the backcountry. The footage will then be sent to our panel of judges who will declare a DUEL winner and the eight men and four women who win their DUELS will continue on to the final two stops of this year’s Tour in Revelstoke, British Columbia and Valdez, Alaska. Natural Selection DUELS will set a compelling drumbeat of incredible content: new terrain, a deeper dive into rider personalities and lifestyle, and the tension when two riders face off for a session in the backcountry."

Allerede i første runde møter Ulrik Badertscher 2021 vinneren, Mikkel Bang.
