That's right folks, we've finally done it! A pre-season jam session with all your buddies, wether they ski or board!

We've been working really hard on this and we hope its a huge success, so that we can continue it for years to come.

Peep the deets:

Date: Friday, November 6th 2009
Time: noon to 5
Location: UBC Student Union Building knoll
Registration: $5


There will be tons of prizes given away during the jam, courtesy of our sponsors; Surface Skis, Capita Snowboards, Red Bull, Momentum Ski Camp, napKING, 32, Dragon Optics, Walrus Clothing, Union Bindings, and Newschoolers.com! (We're also working on a few more so keep checking back!)

Red Bull will be out in full force sampling ice-cold Redbull for both the participants and the crowd, along with their event vehicle Sugga; a converted army truck featuring 4 flat screen TV's, a DJ booth and sound system.

Pro riders from both skiing and boarding will be present as well, thanks to Poorboyz Productions (Leigh Powis, Dane Tudor so far confirmed), Surface Skis (Our very own Liam Casey!) and Capita snowboards (they haven't told us yet).

Surface will also be there with all their leftover 08/09 stock, as well as giving everyone there (riders and spectators) the opportunity to sign up for their group buy with 35% off their 09/10 skis, with free poles and T-shirt with every purchase!

We encourage everyone to come on over and check it out, its sure to be a blast!

false information.

they are open from 9am to 230pm and from 730pm to 930pm on that friday.

schedule here:

diving boards are open during everybody swim, though in the morning, i believe the deep end alternates from diving to not every half hour with boards open from xx30 to xx00

Hmmmm. I go to UBC and I harass them to open up the diving boards up every now and then. And what they told me is that during October-March they generally use the deep end for lane swimming cause the other lanes get too busy. And that they only really open the boards from 1-2:30 IF someone asks them. But that being said, maybe if a big group in their you could get them to do otherwise.

Regardless, the varsity team train there from 5:30 to 7:30 I think, so you'd have to wait until like 7:30 then
