Description:
Volcom's snowboard series makes several stops, including one here in Lake Louise. There are four divisions – 15 and under, 16 and over, girls and open (pro-am) – so the competition has wide appeal. The contest runs on a jam format – boarders participate in 20-minute heats and the main objective is to get in as many tricks (the wilder the better) as you can. There's plenty of prizes (and PB&J sandwiches!) for participants, including goodie bags with some cool Volcom gear. |

And Lake Louise does it up as only a mountain resort could, with live music and outdoor beer gardens, plus ski and snowboard races. Employees of ski and snowboard shops from around Alberta participate in the Shop Showdown competition – expect to see some excellent skiing and boarding. The warmer temperatures and brilliant sunshine give the outdoor event a unique, festive air, sort of like spring break at the beach. |
