Sixteen men and eight women will compete on Day One, with 12 advancing to the finals. One man and one woman will ultimately be crowned champions of the Natural Selection Tour.

BOA® is proud to support riders pushing the boundaries of backcountry freestyle, including BOA athletes Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, Travis Rice, and Sam Kuch. This year, BOA® will also present the “DIALED IN AWARD”, at the ski and snowboard events, to one male and one female rider who bring a bold, innovative approach to the semifinal course, celebrating athletes who are truly dialed when it matters most. 

Keep a look out for Sam Kuch who will be competing at Natural Selection Ski in Alaska in April 2026 for a high-stakes, head-to-head freeski showdown.
