Well, it’s 30 days of celebrating all things snow! Grab your gloves and gear and head on down to Banff for some winter fun.
The Snow Days at Banff National Park event kicked off on January 10th with a really cool event called the Big Bear. What’s Big Bear you ask? Well, take 1 part DJ hosted Street party…
and add in a couple of cool sponsors like Molson Candaian and Red Bull.
Then invite some super sexy skiers and snowboarders that can to do tricks on a custom built rail park!
And BOOM… you have Big Bear! :)

Wow! This looks like a lot of fun. It’s great that there is a wide variety of things to do out there. I would love a snow day like that! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like fun. After eight months in Asia I’m dying for some cold weather right about now ;)
I don’t even like the word “snow” but this likes like a good adrenaline fix
That looks awesome! I wish I lived in Canada! Need to make the trip!
I love watching snowboarding trick runs, though you’ll never catch me on one of those things! *I say in my grumpy old man voice*
Devlin, we are signed up to learn to snowboard this weekend. I’ll let you know exactly what the liquor/courage ratio is when I get up on the mountain :D
Freakin’ epic! Love snowboarding….and would love at some point to watch a live snowboard competition like the X Games or winter olympics. P.s. I want a Redbull Car so very bad =P
It was really sweet! We are learning to snowboard soon, can’t wait to get out there and shred!
