The 2018 Winter Empire Games
We couldn’t do an article about great snowboarding events without mentioning the 2018 Empire Games. On the program this year, a never seen before format, crazy obstacles and concept courtesy of Today's Parks and, last but not least, quality snowboarding. All this, without forgetting about our famous Super Demos, where you can try your favorite brand’s latest products for free right on the spot.
Two action packed days taking place at Stoneham and Bromont stations on February 24th and March 24th, respectively. Put that in your agenda and stay tuned on our social networks and blog for all the information regarding the 2018 Empire Games. Coming very soon.
It’s true, the Olympic Games are not really an activity that requires going outside, but it would be a crime not to mention this epic event on our list. After all, it only happens every 4 years. And it’s a damn good way to enjoy the winter from the comfort of your home.
Broadcast throughout the month of February, the Olympic Games are also a great way to get motivated to go riding. This year, watch Empire Rider Seb Toots and the rest of the Canadian Snowboard Team perform live from Pyeongchang from February 10 to 24 on Radio Canada!

The Snowboard Big Air World Cup at the Jamboree Festival
A must-attend snowboard festival since 2005, the Jamboree hosts the annual FIS Snowboard World Cup, which will be celebrating its 19th edition this year, from the 22nd to the 25th of March 2018. Sanctioned by Canada Snowboard and Freestyle Canada, the Jamboree will host the finals of the FIS Big Air World Cup in the heart of Quebec City, in the St-Roch neighborhood.
This free event offers programming that will for sure keep you busy from March 22nd to March 25th. Outdoor live music performance, fun and professional level snowboarding for your eyes to feast on. If you are from the Quebec City area, it's a "no brainer" to attend the show and festivities.

See you in Quebec City for this epic snowboard event!
Even though the Quebec stop of the Vans Hi-Standard series already happened last January 21st, the next two dates are not too far from us, on the other side of the boarders. Believe us, those events are totally worth the trip.
