We caught up with Travis Rice this week to talk about the present and future of the Natural Selection Tour.

That’s a big feat, considering all that it takes to make the Natural Selection Snow event run smoothly in the Revelstoke Mountain Resort backcountry. Travis is here with his wife Brook, son Jupiter, daughter Revel and thei...

“ Stefi’s [ ] passion and tenacity have made her the ultimate snowboarder’s snowboarder. It has kept her true to her path, dancing through life and structuring her world around the things she loves most. Hailing from a small town in New Zealand, Stefi has become a Kiwi legend, a vetted Mammoth local, an Olympian and the proud owner of the sickest back seven Japan there is (in my opinion). Stefi is a true freeride snowboarder who exudes style and ease at every turn. Introduced to snowboarding in her mid-teens, Stefi has found her way through slopestyle competitions, government sponsorships, traveling the world, and, most importantly, her friends...” Words: || Pick up a copy of Issue 22.1 to read the full feature, “Stefi Luxton and The Simple Life.” Photos:

“Here in Vermont, we have a lot of faith. We’ve got to in order to stay sane. We have to say that next winter will be good. And yes, it will be. Snow will fall and it’ll stay cold and more will fall on top of that. This winter, for example, is gonna be great. But the past decade has had its ups and downs. Those of us who enjoy turning on anything other than manmade hardpack have had to get creative. That’s how, in this little corner of the snowboard world lovingly nicknamed the ‘Ice Coast,’ a handful of riders have leaned into the joy of powsurfing...”

They range from low stress sessions to critical situations demanding absolute focus. From vision quests on a bucket list objective to sharing these wild spaces with friends and loved ones, the key element here is the landscape...” — writes in the introduction for “Ideal Scenarios in the High Sierra”.
