RnD x Tribute Boardshop: Movie & Bib Allocation Night!
Presented by YETI
Supported by: Arc'teryx, Jones Snowboards, Sun Bum, Burton, Natural Selection Tour, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, SLUSH Magazine.
Join us for a free evening of snowboarding, film, and community! Research and Development (RnD) and Tribute Boardshop are hosting a movie screening night, paired with the official Arc'teryx rider bib seeding for Competition Day.
Come meet the RnD riders and watch as the custom-made Arc'teryx rider bibs are allocated, revealing each rider’s dropping order and which zone — Zone One or Zone Two — they’ll be riding in on Comp Day at Whitewater Mountain Resort.
Please note: due to weather, Competition Day and bib-allocation may run earlier in the week.
The night features two films:
Facing Giants, documenting Ellery Manning’s journey from RnD 2024 to Natural Selection (NST) 2025, followed by a Q&A
