Research & Development

 Backcountry freestyle snowboard contest for women

“14 riders were invited to Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson BC last March for the first inaugural Research & Development backcountry freestyle contest for women. Beyond the podium from the contest itself, we chose a standout rider from the entire week to go straight to Revelstoke for The Natural Selection contest in 2025. Our standout pick is Ellery Manning from Tahoe, Ca at 18 years old she will be one of the youngest competitors in the contest, but in the judges mind, ready to crush some competition. ”
