You may be hearing it here first. The 2009 Whistler World Ski and Snowboard Festival will be getting some seriously needed new life. The Snowboard side of this years festival will be the new home for the infamous and legendary Grenade Games. Grenade Gloves has teamed up with Monster Energy Drink to create the perfect storm. For years the WSSF has gone down hill with a bullet, slowly becoming a corporate donky having nothing to do with Core snowboarding ands it values. That all changes in 2009. Look out for a week of wild events and good old fashion snowboarding fun. This years event promises to cater to snowboarders and the core snowboard market. Whatever happens it’s sure to be a shit show. Book your flights and hotels for April 27-26 2009. We’ll keep you in the loop as news comers up…BANG!!!
