Whistler Turkey Sale 2012

The Whistler Turkey Sale is coming up soon, and is one of my favourite sales in terms of selection and price for all sorts of snowboarding gear. This is a personal reminder to myself haha!

Canwest Vancouver Snow Show

I'll pretty much go anywhere with the promise of free stuff or samples, so I'll definitely be heading over to the Canwest Vancouver Snow Show October 26-27th at the Forum @ the PNE. Seems like a smaller venue than the other years I've gone... but it's always a fun event, checking out all the ski resort's booths to get info and potential free stuff. They also have a ski and snowboard swap, so if you're looking to sell your old board or get a cheap deal on someone else's old board... this is the place!
