Research & Development | Recap Edit

On March 20th of 2024, 14 Riders descended on Whitewater Ski Resort to try on competitive backcountry for size. The first inagural Research & Development event invited these riders to film and compete in a perfect off resort venue for a chance to compete in the NST in 2025 and 5k in prizing. Without a doubt, the riders showed up blazing and made it obvious to us what is possible if given the opportunity. This edit covers the week of shredding and the result of a perfect arena for new riders to show us what they are made of. RnD is supported by Yeti, Burton, Arc’teryx, Jones snowboards, Sierra Nevada Brewing, A New Earth Project, Whitewater Ski Resort, Tribute Boardshop, and the Natural Selection.
