Splitboard.com Forums

Just wanted to provide some follow up to the Donner Split Party presented by splitboard.com, give a big shout-out to all the attendees/sponsors, and share some pics from the event.

First off, thanks to everyone that came out to support this event! We had about 30 people stay at the lodge and 50 show up for the raffle. We raised $1,402 for our local Avy Center (SAC)!!! They are stoked/grateful and these donations help ensure their valuable services to the bc community continue. For my friends that couldn't make it (not mentioning any names!), hopefully we will see you next year!

Second, thanks to the Clair Tappaan Lodge for having us and to the following sponsors for their support!

Voile
Venture
Spark
Jones Snowboards
Arbor
Never Summer
G3
K2
Osprey
Down The Middle splitboards
Local Knits
Stance Socks
Best Buy

Also wanted to thank Andy from Sierra Avalanche Center for the Friday night discussion, Jeremy Jones and the Zellers for letting folks tag along on a group tour, as well as the the Jones and K2 reps that came out.

One of the things I look to improve next year is to have a better demo area. This year is was a little difficult to let folks demo boards due to limited space.

Here's some pics:

Wow, huge props to the sponsors for donating all the killer gear.

Please stop having these cool gatherings on Feb. 23 weekend.

Any other weekend works, thanks. Miss all the buds!

Thanks again Chris and Skylar for all of your hard work, organizing for this event. It couldn't have happened without you guys.

It was a super killer time had by all, at a great place, with great conditions. I felt lucky to be a part of it and I hope that we do it again for many years.

I'm looking forward to getting out on the Eastside.

Cheers
