“The Future of Snowboarding” is set to blow minds and set new benchmarks this February at Nelson, BC’s Baldface Lodge. Spearheaded by one of the world’s most visionary snowboarders, Travis Rice, and facilitated by Baldface owner/operator Jeff Pensiero who’s crew toiled through a summer of hard work creating what must certainly be one of the most nutbar course venues in the history of action sports, all eyes turn to the Selkirk Mountains and 18 of the world’s best riders as they attempt to shred the impossible.
