RedBull Supernatural is one of the most awaited events of this season. A new concept of competition, a new possible future for snowboarding. 18 of the world’s most notable riders, the icons of snowboarding, progressed the sport to a new level at Baldface Lodge, outside Nelson in British Columbia, Canada.

The run is built across 2,200 vertical feet (670m) on the slope nicknamed “Scary Cherry.” It features now over 80 man-made structures including pillow lines, enormous platforms and goal posts in the over-40-degree top section. Most riders had hit five or more features over varying size before heading into the super-kickers where fresh powder landings allowed riders to open up with speed and style.The final slopestyle section had pillow platforms to tap and log rides that took riders straight into the finish line.

Travis Rice put down a nearly flawless run hitting as many features as possible and gaining the best score of 91. Gigi Rüf placed in second position and Nicolas Müller is third with 82.60 points. John Jackson ended fourth but took home the best trick with a double cork 1080 off the big kicker on his final run.

“We had no idea that people would tee off that big without having ever seen anyone hit the features before,” says Tom Burt, Head Judge for Red Bull Supernatural. “This contest puts together where snowboarding is headed, riding the mountains. But adding freestyle riding into the mix really ups the level. Nature alone can’t fully provide a course like this.”
