Darkside Snowboards x Youth Sports Alliance
Hey All!
Boy oh boy, do we have a PACKED March agenda for you, buckle up! March is Brain Injury Awareness month and our inaugural celebration, with our own spin on it for the cause.
We’ve been fortunate enough to partner with Redbull, Roxy, K2, Skullcandy and Anon for virtual activations throughout the month. Make sure to follow @saveabrian on IG to participate in “Save A Brain Month” packed with giveaways and auctions!
Happy Helmets:
Not only were we able to have support of the incredible brands mentioned above but we were actually able to partner with an OG Darkside Snowboards for March’s Happy Helmets!
Darkside Snowboards opened in Killington, VT in 1989 - when snowboarding was still in its infancy. Darkside prides themselves on supporting the snowboard community in Vermont. For the past 27 years, Darkside has been helping riders pursue the snowboarding lifestyle. Through various snowboard academies, college snowboard clubs, high school snowboard teams, and local mountain town dwellers, Darkside has provided generations of snowboarders a place to make friends, progress their skills, meet their favorite pro, and most importantly, get their first or tenth setup. The Dark Park has played host to many a snowboard contest and is always FREE to come and ride. Just make sure you sign a waiver!
