2025 Research and Development

March 10, 2025

Research and Development (RnD), presented by Arc'teryx and YETI, took over the sidecountry of Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson, BC, for one of the most progressive backcountry events of the 2025 season. Eighteen fearless female snowboarders took freestyle big mountain riding to the next level—showcasing creativity, raw power, and serious style. Massive sends, technical lines, stomped landings, and double backies made this an unforgettable showdown.
