Fresh snow from a storm cycle has refreshed the Revelstoke competition venue, and 12 riders advance to the final day of the 2026 Tour Championship competition.
A multi-day, mostly low-to-moderate impact storm cycle runs from Saturday night (01/10) through Tuesday night (01/13), with the Interior BC mountains picking up the best totals but also the trickiest snow quality as warmer air pushes in. Revelstoke stands out for overall accumulation, while Big White and RED Mountain see lighter, wind-affected refreshers that trend denser by late Sunday into Monday.
NST is undoubtedly changing the way backcountry events are showcased. Helmed by COO Liam Griffin, the production team deploys experienced snowboard filmers across umpteen angles, futuristic FPV drones, and a shit-ton of expensive and complicated broadcast equipment to beam the feed from the backcountry just outside of Revelstoke Mountain Resort to southern California. From there, angles are pieced together, enhanced or tarnished with commentary (depending on who you ask), and sent worldwide.
