Ultranatural Cancelled Due To Scheduling Conflict With Sochi Olympics – BOOOOO!

Ultranatural is on hold, for this year at least, due to a supposed scheduling conflict. Cause it would be hard to move it a month, right?
 

Redbull and Travis Rice have announced that there will be no Ultranatural contest this year due to a scheduling conflict with the Sochi Olymp-dicks. It seems to me that if they were really committed to running the contest they could have just moved the damn thing to a month later, but hey, what the hell do I know about running million-dollar, made-for-TV contests?

From Redbull:

“As a progressive visionary, Travis Rice has a long term goal of hosting Red Bull Ultra Natural in various locations around the globe. Additionally, the television time slot for Red Bull Ultra Natural in 2014 is being pre-empted by extensive Olympic coverage. As a result, the difficult decision to postpone the event in 2014 has been made. After two amazing years of creating and hosting a truly unique, successful and groundbreaking event, Red Bull will work with Travis next year to scout new backcountry zones for a potential build site. Red Bull would like to tip their hat to the entire event crew and Baldface Lodge staff for their participation in helping to shape the future of competitive snowboarding. Everyone from the loggers to the build crew to the homies and staff of Baldface Lodge magically transformed the now famous “Scary Cherry” run into what has become that of snowboarding legend, all in a backcountry location that allowed the greatest snowboarders of our time to freeride together for seven amazing days.” 
 

Reading this statement, it seems like there may be a bit more to the story. Besides the scheduling conflict, does it seem to you like there may have been some issues with the location at Bald Face? It was always stated that in the future there would hopefully be multiple Ultranatural courses set up around the world but it seems like there may be some issues with the original course going on behind the scenes. What do you think?
