Red Bull Ultra Natural 2013

Sixteen of the world’s best riders meet on an updated course to crown the “Best All-Around Snowboarder”, February 15-21 at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC.

Backcountry snowboard competition evolves as Travis Rice and 15 of the world’s top riders prepare to drop into an updated course designed to crown the world’s best all-around snowboarder. When Red Bull Ultra Naturaltouches down at Baldface Lodge outside of Nelson, B.C., Canada, a group of eight new riders will meet the eight top finishers from last year on a course with more features and options than previously imaginable. With an updated format, new judges and of course a new name, Red Bull Ultra Natural runs on a single day during the February 15-21 holding period.

The brainchild of Travis Rice, Red Bull Ultra Natural creates the dream snowboard run located within the 32,000 acre tenure of Canada’s premier snowcat operation, Baldface Lodge. On the 45+ degree slope nicknamed “Scary Cherry”, a new wider start area and more line options will create more diversity for the riders in 2013. More than 80 existing features have been refined and additional creative hips and objects have been placed on-course to create transitional riding elements in between the upper tree-line jumps and pillow lines, the middle section’s super-kicker, and the natural jib and jump section near the finish.
