We go to the Canadian Rockies to embed with some of the top female snowboarders for a week as they compete in RnD - a unique backcountry event whose winner gets a coveted spot on the Natural Selections Tour. Action is elevated by culture with this group, who push each other to new limits and strike the perfect balance of support and competition.
