Athlete(s): Cam Lawrence, Ashlee Keller, Willan Charles, Jakub Hrones, Oyvind Kirkhus
Not everyone has the luxury of being able to grow up going to the mountains to ski or snowboard—even if they're on the horizon of your city. So Winter Park brings a ski hill to an urban setting every year in a little park called Ruby Hill just a mile or two from downtown Denver. This small act has a profound effect on the community, bringing snowsports to people who would otherwise never experience it.

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 where the winner gets a coveted spot on the Natural Selections Tour. The incredible snowboard action is elevated by the culture this group creates—pushing each other to new limits and striking the perfect balance of support and competition.
Vignettes

Steamboat Springs, CO: Witness the fun of Steamboat’s 43rd annual Cardboard Classic, where cardboard and competitors are fueled by pure creative lunacy while launching their creations downhill. The rules are simple, the creativity is wild, and even the most determined can't outrun the inevitable.

Tuckerman Ravine, NH: A day in the life from one of the closing days at an East Coast monument. To get there, you need to be committed. To ski it, you should also be committed.
