If you’re in the Vancouver/BC area and looking for something rad to do Friday night… I recommend checking out this double header of local snowboard events. I’m super excited!

I’m heading to the Westbeach store grand opening on this Friday, November 6th. Setting up on Vancouver’s “snowboard row” on West 4th, doors will be opening at noon on Friday and you can shop till 8 pm. The address there is 1758 West 4th Ave. At 8:30 pm, they will also be hosting a party celebrating the grand opening as well as the veryREALLY movie premiere pre-party… party will go until about 10 or 10:30.

And then…

veryREALLY is a local snowboard movie featuring local Canadian riders and brands. From the production company Random Large Text, the film features riders from all over Canada, including: Nate Butcher, Jeff Thorne, Cam Rodenm, Bradley Hesson, John Graff, Scott Sych and many others. The movie will be shown at Tunnel Lounge (622 West Pender). There is a $10 cover but $5 will be donated to the Snowrider Foundation, and there will also be tons of giveaways from Pacific Boarder and Westbeach. Doors open at 10 pm and the movie will be on at 11 pm.

I hope to see you guys there! This is a great time to get out and support local mountains, riders, shops, and brands. Quite a few people are going, you can check out the Facebook event here.

Anyone thinking of heading out for this? In other news, have any of you picked up your snowboard gear (outwear, boards etc) for this year yet?
