The Burton boys are back again this year with another web series for us to marvel over, undoubtedly getting everyone excited for the upcoming 2015/2016 North American Season.
Here at Pro Ride we are frothing to get back to doing what we do best – Snowboarding!
 

Featuring Mark McMorris, Ben Ferguson, Danny Davis, Mikkel Bang, Mikey Rencz, Zach Hale and Ethan Deiss; all showcasing what they got up to last season.  
 

Between the five edits there is a good mix of backcountry powder, freestyle park and street rail riding.
There is something for everyone no matter what you are into.

Along side the Men web series “the teaser” that dropped last week, Burton has also released a trailer for the new women’s exclusive three part web series titled All Day, All Night, All Time.

Release dates

The 22 year old goofy rider from Montreal Quebec Canada has once again destroyed Perisher Australia’s front valley park with his smooth riding style and insanely technical rail combinations. This latest edit shows us exactly why he is an Olympian, X games gold medalist in Slopestyle and sliver medalist in Big Air.

The Infamous Car Danchi Crew is back with 9 Drives Around the winter wonderland of Japan.

Snowmaking on Horstman Glacier Whistler.jpg

This coming winter season, Whistler Blackcomb will conduct a new snowmaking pilot project aimed at preserving the Horstman Glacier on Blackcomb Mountain. The pilot project will involve the testing of four low-energy consumption snowmaking guns in the Horstman Hut area to determine if a full-scale snowmaking system is an option to prevent further recession of the Horstman Glacier.

Pro Ride's favourite board company Ride Snowboards have just released a brand new online Board Finder, helping you find your perfect board in just 4 quick steps.

Built to Ride from British Columbia, the fourth and final installment of the RIDE Snowboards web series!  We're a little biased as it's filmed in our backdoor, but it's our favourite one yet!

It’s no mistake that “B.C.” is synonymous for both British Columbia and Back Country. Ride Snowboarders Beau Bishop, Trevan Salmon and Austin Hironaka packed up their sleds, brought out the snorkels and dropped in on some of the best pow lines of their year. After watching the RIDE crew rip chest deep powder, fluffy pillow lines, and perfect backcountry jumps, we're all itching to get out there for our first powder day this season!

Believe the hype! Whistler Mountain is opening ahead of schedule this Saturday thanks to recent snowfall on the peaks, a blast of sub zero temperatures and an expert snowmaking team who have converted over 60 million gallons of water into snow over the past few weeks.

Here at ProRide, we are super excited to welcome our first group of campers on Dec 6^th. If you haven’t already, click here to check out all the snowboard programs we offer.

Sub-zero temps and daylight savings have made most of us feel like crawling back into bed to hibernate. But heavy alpine snowfall followed by stellar blue bird skies and crisp mornings meant that pro skier and rider Stan Rey and Mercedes Nicoll had to wake up from their slumber... to go shred Whistler Blackcomb. It's not a dream, winter is here, and Official Opening Day is November 27, 2014.
