Natural Selection Selects RED Mountain, Naturally…

This year, RED Mountain, in Rossland, BC, will be the only Canadian stop within the 6 worldwide DUELS Qualifiers for the 2024 Natural Selection Tour. On RED’s hallowed, powder-blasted slopes, 2 athletes will compete 1-on-1, battling for the highest score to advance. RED’s famous steeps, undulating terrain, and plentiful winter snowfall make this a perfect venue for the riders to express their wildest imaginations and everyone at RED is stoked for the opportunity to be a part of the progression. Natural Selection is so-called not just as a nod to ol’ Darwin, but because the event goes down on natural and naturally-enhanced terrain; true survival of the fittest. Read the full press release.
