Snowrider Project
The goal of the Snowrider Project is to protect our mountain environments that are the source for many watersheds flowing to the ocean. We will achieve this by educating the snowsports community through events and service projects on the need to keep our mountains pristine for future generations enjoyment.
We have a lot of amazing events coming up for 2011, and we hope you will join us to either dance your socks off or volunteer your time to help keep our mountains beautiful.
Campaigns:
Reduce Packaging! – Have you ever noticed that when you get a new pair of bindings, or a helmet or a snowboard that you need to paw through layers of painted cardboard, stuffing, tissue and plastic bags? Have you also noticed that you never use any of that again after you put your new bindings on your new board and your new helmet on your head? Do you think this might be a waste?
