"In a major development for freeride skiing and snowboarding, Powder Mountain in Utah has been selected as a host of the new Super Sessions on Travis Rice's Natural Selection Tour (NST)-one of the most progressive and athlete-driven freeride competition circuits in the world. Super Sessions are a new opening stage introduced for the 2026 season. These high-energy, collaborative events are hosted across three iconic global destinations: the deep powder of Myōkō, Japan, the remote backcountry of British Columbia, and at Powder Mountain, Utah."
"Since its inception, the Natural Selection Tour has distinguished itself from traditional competitive formats by inviting athletes to ride large, natural features that aren't sculpted or engineered for competition. The series emphasizes natural terrain, strategic line choice, and creative expression-values that align perfectly with Powder Mountain's reputation among freeriders. The Super Sessions will be held in Powder Mountain's DMI backcountry terrain-short for "Don't Mention It.""
Powder Mountain in Utah will host a Super Session on Travis Rice's Natural Selection Tour beginning in 2026, joining Myōkō, Japan, and British Columbia as opening-stage locations. The Super Sessions are high-energy, collaborative events designed for progressive, athlete-driven freeride competition in deep powder and remote backcountry. Powder Mountain was chosen for its vast skiable acreage, deep snowpack, and natural lines that test experienced athletes. The events will use Powder Mountain's DMI backcountry terrain, which includes glades, open bowls, cliff bands, spines, and technical chutes. The Natural Selection Tour prioritizes natural features, strategic line choice, and creative expression.
