TELUS Park will be hosting a Canada Snowboard Riders event for World Snow Day. CS Riders events are grassroots events, geared towards young riders who would like to start competing. The morning is a fun filled session of practicing tricks and getting comfortable on the Boardercross track with certified coaches. The afternoon is comprised of a contest either on the Boardercross course or in the small/medium lane of TELUS Park. A small registration fee of $10 is required. All the riders will be taking home some sweet swag, in the form of T-shirts, toques and stickers. For more information on this event, click here.
