After three preliminary Super Sessions in Myoko, Japan, Powder Mountain, Utah, and RND in Nelson BC Canada, the best of the best qualified themselves to YETI Natural Selection Snow at Revelstoke Mountain. 24 total athletes qualified for Revelstoke but only one man and one woman could be crowned as the champions.
Once in Revelstoke these riders head beyond resort boundaries to find the venue that offers big lines and creative hits. The Selector venue is iconic as it forces riders to mesh freestyle and big mountain skill to be named Natural Selection Tour Champion.
This competition is unique because of its head-to-head bracket style format. So four women earned themselves a spot in the quarterfinals but Zoi Sadowski-Synnott out of New Zealand and Czech rider Sarka Pancochova went head to head in the final round. Zoi came out on top and earned herself the title of 2026 Natural Selection Tour Champion. Pancochova was runner up and Canadian rider Billy Pelchat came in third.
On the men’s side of things four men competed in semi-finals but US rider Nils Mindnich and Brian Alexander out of Canada headed into the finals. A big win for the US as Mindnich took home the top spot on the podium. With Brian Alexander in second, Norwegian athlete Torstein Horgmo earned third place.
These days in Revelstoke capped off an awe-inspiring season for the Natural Selection Tour as athletes continue to push the bounds of snowboarding.
