RBC Riders Northern BC Series - Grassroots Snowboarding Events Feb, - Apr, 2011

Let it snow!! In the last several years snowboarding has quietly taken off in the North. This year many of the regional clubs, host resorts, young athletes, coaches and volunteers are excited to host and participate in a series of grassroots race events....

So whether you are participating or cheering ...come on out for some fresh air and fun and make some noise. It is a great way to spend a day, checking out the awesome northern venues seeing firsthand what it is all about. There may even be some swag!!

We asked for these events to come to the north and look forward to great success through participation and fun.
