|
| Rachael's Morzine Article: "Now I know you have all been holding out with bated breath wondering every hour of the day 'when is Rachael’s article about her Just Snowboard camp experience going to be online? I just can't get on with my life until I have read it'. |
|
| Well my pretties the waiting is over. It's now live on GB, so go check it out. Cheers Rachael." |

| GB Monthly Jam Session 1: What were you doing on Friday 9th January? You're not sure? You can't remember? Well that's probably because you weren't doing anything exciting. While you were bored we were enjoying a night of riding, falling, laughing, drinking and free GB hoody give away’s. |
|
| A massive thank you to all the guys that turned up and a big "what were you thinking?!" to those who didn't. Not to worry though, you can claw your way back into our affections by coming to the next one. Check out our events page for dates, times and how to get your GB discount card. |
|
| All things going well we'll be doing some filming and photos on the slope at the next Jam on 6th Feb, so we can get some official coverage for the Video and Gallery sections too. We look forward to seeing you there! |
|

| Snowbombing – The Greatest Show on Snow |
|
| Everyone knows Snowbombing is a great party in a fantastic resort. But don’t make the mistake of thinking the event only appeals to those who prefer sound systems to snow, and partying all-night to playing-in-the-powder all day long. With a pro-comp attracting more and more teams of internationally respected riders, whisper it lightly, Snowbombing is attended by some pretty fly 'board scene faces. |

| Forum Snowboards European Team Manager, Jon Weaver; "Fewer punters on the slopes, meaning no lift queues, and quick laps through the park. Beautiful warm sunny weather, an amazing park, and the best parties of the year, make it one not too miss. This year Fatboy Slim, Dizzee Rascal and Mylo lead the aural assault – hear them play in the mountains, in front of an increasing number of teams, riders, Snowboard media and people who love to ride just as much as you do. If you love snowboarding, and you love partying, what more could you ask for?" |
| Snowboarding, pro-comp & amazing park. |
