Snow Melts, Trash Doesn't! - At Grouse Mountain

2010-06-22T20:17:00.000-07:00

Surfrider Foundation’s Vancouver Chapter is teaming up with Grouse Mountain Resort to present the Foundation’s 2nd “Snow Melts, Trash Doesn’t” mountain cleanup on June 27th, 2010 from 12pm till 4pm.

This cleanup follows the wildly successful inaugural mountain cleanup on Mount Seymour last month, which collected over 1,200 cans and bottles, as well as more than a dozen large garbage bags of trash.

The “Snow Melts, Trash Doesn’t” Grouse Mountain cleanup will bring together volunteers armed with reusable bags to hike the mountain trails and lift lines picking up anything that does not naturally belong on the hill. At the first mountain cleanup, volunteers found Trevor Linden's ipod, a few uncracked beers, iphones, other cell phones, hoodies, a few bandanas, a guitar, a ski, a snow skate, tons of gloves, money and lots of other keepers!

All volunteers are welcome to join! Just head to Valley Guest Services when you arrive at the hill to pick up a Skyride pass, citing that you are volunteering with the Surfrider Foundation’s cleanup.

There will be a Surfrider tent at the top of the Skyride where you can pick up gloves and a bag to get started. Feel free to bring your own NON-PLASTIC bag as well! Reusable grocery bags, giant Ikea shopping bags or any other reusable bag will do.

IMPORTANT: Please wear sturdy boots or hiking shoes, and dress for all weather conditions.

At 3pm, as a thank you to all volunteers, Grouse Mountain will be hosting a BBQ with burgers, fries and a drink, and we will be giving away tons of great swag from:

> The Boardroom Snowboard Shop
> Spy Optic

> Flux Bindings
> RDS Skate Supply
> Holden
> WeSC
> Arson

> Orb

*** In the spirit of environmental stewardship, please carpool to the event, or take public transit which offers regular service to the base of Grouse Mountain every half hour. Catch Bus 232 from Phibbs Exchange or Bus 236 from Lonsdale Quay. Alternatively, if you can spare a seat in your car, post on the event wall and hopefully we can hook up a few carpools here! ***
_____________________________________________________________

The event is being organized by the Surfrider Foundation's Vancouver Chapter Snowrider Project Committee. The Snowrider Project was launched by the Surfrider Foundation in 1997 to bring greater understanding of the hydrological cycle (the foundation for the intimate environmental connection between snow, land and surf) and to foster a sense of stewardship towards alpine and valley watersheds.

For our mountains and alpine ecosystems in addition to our oceans, waves and beaches!

A few things that we wanted to remind you,

>> Please bring your own water bottle or reusable cup, we will have fresh water on hand to refill them. Also, feel free to bring your own non-plastic bag to use, although we will have some on hand too

>> Mount Seymour is hosting a BBQ afterward to thank all of you: burgers, hot dogs, veggie options and beer!

>> We've got TONS of great prizes for our volunteers that we will give out raffle-style, including a bunch of lift tickets for next season at Mount Seymour, a longboard complete from Never Summer Longboards, a skate deck from the Boardroom, Airhole Ninja masks, a schwack of thirts from Flux Bindings, Never Summer, IS Eyewear and some Endeavor Snowboard Design stickers

>> Carpooling is rad, you should do it! If you've got extra seats in your whip, please feel free to post on the event wall what part of town you are traveling from and how many people you can take

Aries2010 Parties and Danny Kass

2010-02-24T08:40:00.000-08:00

Last thing I write about Nike for awhile, I sort of promise. I'm not pro Nike and snowboarding yet, but the lines are blurring, I mean really are they any worse than any other company? Option moved all there production out of country and laid off a bunch of people, some of who I call friends and haven't been able to find the same caliber of job, but I still ride an option board (mostly because everything was on sale from that warehouse in the last 2 years and I'm a cheap bastard.

Anyway long story short, thanks Nike for making me feel like a spoiled VIP for 2 nights and providing me with the booze to help my ego soar! Oh yeah I briefly met Danny Kass.

Check out some pictures from both nights at the following link

Snowboard : Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

2010-02-13T09:42:00.000-08:00

Like the majority of the city last night we watched the opening ceremonies for the Olympics in a pub on Granville Street. I'm not sure how I felt about the Olympics but did get a little civic pride when the Canadian athletes came out and the whole mob mentality starts happening. I have decided to except these games and ride the roller coaster that will turn our city in to a sports themed Disney World for the next few weeks. You can protest all you want but at this point it's like showing up to a party you didn't want to go to and than yelling about how much it sucks. Should be a good time!

Blackcomb hiking

2010-01-10T13:37:00.000-08:00

Since we are going on something like 4 years of rain in the North Shore mountains, and the GF was in town from Montreal, we figured a trip up to Whistler was in order. Our hope was to get to actual see something the resembled winter. Whistler felt more like early spring riding in the village but after getting a little further up Blackcomb it almost looked like winter. After riding the groomers with the GF it was nice to break and do some hiking. Here are some pictures from a awesome hike off Glacier Chair. FYI to make it more affordable, the mountain is still offering edge cards. You can pick them up online at http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/tickets/edge/gate.htm?passthru=true&referer=%2Ftickets%2Fedge%2Findex.htm
