Watch Day 1 of the YETI Natural Selection Revelstoke Live on Friday, March 14th on Red Bull TV.

It’s official! Things are about to get heavy in Revy as Day 1 of the YETI Natural Selection at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, BC is confirmed to start on Friday, May 15th, 2025. Tune in to redbulltv.com at 1pm PST to watch 24 of the world’s preeminent practitioners of off-piste freestyle battle for bragging rights and big novelty checks in snowboarding’s most formidable forum. Revelstoke’s renowned Montana Bowl will once again host this one-of-a-kind contest showdown. New this year is the ability for the general public to access the slope and witness all of the radness firsthand adding to the already electric atmosphere that will be on tap.

For 2025, the YETI Natural Selection at Revelstoke has updated the process by which riders will earn their invite to Day 2. On Friday the contest will commence with 2 heats of 8 men and 1 heat of 8 women each taking 1 run with 2 riders from each of these three groups (6 total) advancing. Next, the remaining 18 competitors will once again drop within their respective heats with a single contender advancing from their designated fields. The third round serves as a last chance qualifier into day 2, with only 1 athlete in each bracket earning an invite to take part in the main event on Saturday.
