Giveaways, professional high-fives, and an utterly awesome RAFFLE!

Quick summary for those not in the know:
“It’s 2012 and the economy has crashed completely. The snowboarding industry is non-existent and Washington is brought back to times of the Wild West. Outlaws and renegades struggle to survive in the mountains. This is ‘How the Northwest Was One’.”

This Weekend in Snowboarding (10/9 – 10/11)

amiller — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:00:25 +0000

In case you didn’t get the memo, the 09-10 snow season has started (well, at least in Colorado). Both Loveland Pass and Arapahoe Basin opened this week, thanks to cold temps and snowguns.

But Colorado is not Seattle, so unless you’re planning an epic road trip, here’s what’s going on in the region this weekend to whet your snow-craving appetite:

Saturday October 10th

4th Annual Downtown Throwdown
Occidental Park – Pioneer Square (map)
2 pm
Totally Radical! Totally FREE!

Following the DT-TD on Saturday night, for those of you 21+ with an appetite for tasty beer, is Pyramid Breweries’ Snow Cap Party. Minus The Bear will be there, pumping-out chill tunes to warm-up with.
And if you’re not 21 yet, don’t worry, I’m sure the U-District will be hopping after the Huskies embarrass Arizona in the great American sport of football.

Happy Weekend!

And that means two things:

1. We’re on the HUB Lawn today for the annual Student Activities Fair aka “Club Day” on the UW Seattle campus. We’ll be sitting behind a table somewhere out there from 10:30-2:30, so come find us. We’ll be more than happy to entertain you with awesome high-fives and free goodies. If you’re a member from last year, we’ll have your shirt available for pick-up. If you’re new to UW, welcome. And if you’d like to join – or just get more information about the club – you can do that too.

2. Snow. Here’s a picture from Steven’s Pass from 8am this morning:

See you there!

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited. In fact, I’m so excited I’ve decided to share my joy via a free ticket to the show. That’s right, a FREE TICKET to this Friday’s premier! The catch: You’ve got to send me your coolest shred-related story by 12:00am Friday morning. Then on Friday morning I’ll read all your rad tales and pick a winner, letting the lucky guy/gal/sasquatch know by noon via e-mail. Of course, I’m going to post your story to this here site as well, so pictures, videos, etc. will only better your chances. So, by my watch you’ve got a little over 80 hours to get your story via (optionally) HTML-rich email to ajmiller@huskysnowboardteam.com.

What are you waiting for?

Neverland premiere tonight

Good flick. Fun Officer trip, did you come out? Winter can’t come soon enough.

7th Annual All-Mountain Clean Up this Saturday

amiller — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 23:35:59 +0000

This Saturday a bunch of rad folks will be gathering at Alpental at 10 am and dispersing across the base areas of the Summit at Snoqualmie in an effort to keep the area litter-free for all the critters who hit the snow-free slopes during the summer months.

There will be a bunch o’ free food including a BBQ and lots of rad people giving high-fives. Pack your parka if you’re planning on attending, the forecast is calling for a chance of t-storms.

Your snowrider karma awaits.
