Fifth Annual Venture and Ska Brewing Season Kickoff

Silverton, CO - November 17, 2009 - Venture Snowboards and Ska Brewing are once again teaming up to welcome winter in style with their Fifth Annual Season Kickoff Party scheduled for Saturday, December 5th.

For the fifth year running, the two homegrown Colorado companies are producing a small run of custom graphics boards and a special winter brew, both of which will be unveiled at the bash.

The partnership between Venture and Ska started nearly seven years ago when the two businesses came together to talk about how they could collaborate. “We jokingly refer to ourselves as the microbrew of snowboards because we build high quality boards from scratch,” explains Venture’s Lisa Branner. “Ska takes the same approach in crafting their beer, so teaming up seemed like a natural.”

In a nod to what all powder hounds crave, Ska has named their winter brew after Venture’s powder board, the Euphoria. “Euphoria is the perfect name for the beer. One sip of this hoppy elixir and I find myself overcome with a feeling of great happiness and well-being,” says Ska’s Dave Thibodeau. “It’s the same feeling you get on a blower powder day.”

This year’s Season Kickoff features live music from The Freeman Social and Fuzzy Killing Machine, Ska drink specials, and tons of giveaways from Bubba’s Boards, Ice Pirates Snowmobile Tours, Inferno Snowboard Shop, Purl Wax, Silverton Mountain, Silverton Powder Cats, Smith Optics, Skullcandy, Spark R&D, and Wolf Creek Ski Area.

The highlight of the evening will be the raffle for a coveted limited edition Ska/Venture custom snowboard. This year’s deck features the Modus Hoperandi graphic and the distinctive Venture snowflake, and is destined to become a collector’s item for beer and snow lovers alike.

The Season Kickoff Party gets rockin’ at 8 pm at Silverton’s Pride of the West (1323 Greene Street). Cover charge is $6 and this is a 21+ event. Proceeds will benefit the Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies in Silverton. For more information call 970.387.5269.

Venture Announces Grand Prize Winner Of “The Mountain Life” Photo Contest

Silverton, CO - May 1, 2009 - The grand prize winner of Venture Snowboards’ season-long “Mountain Life” photo contest is Amy Flygare of Benson, Utah.

Amy’s determination to win this contest was unflagging. She submitted photos each of the seven months of the contest, and two of these won top honors. Her September submission took the cake, winning the judges’ approval instantly. “She looks so graceful,” said one. “She’s pointing it like she means business,” commented another. Others approved of the use of shadow and light, and the awesome backcountry setting. Her hand-drag and shadow really put things over the top. The judges are still a little miffed that Amy won’t share the location of this photo in order to keep folks from poaching her secret spot. Maybe now she’ll let us in on her little secret?

We hope Amy makes many good turns on her prize - a brand spanking new Venture deck. Enjoy the ride Amy!

Check out Amy’s winning photo, as well as a slideshow of all contest submissions, on Venture’s blog: News from 9,318. Many thanks to all the contest participants who shared the stoke this winter!

Venture Announces February Photo Contest Winner

Silverton, CO - March 2, 2009 - The winner of Venture Snowboards’ February photo contest is Amy Flygare of Benson, Utah.

Amy’s photo of her husband Eric raising a humongous powder cloud in backcountry got our judges’ collective motor running. It’s also worth noting that Amy has now won two of our monthly competitions, giving her an even better chance of winning a snowboard in the second tier grand prize competition that will take place in April.

Check out Amy’s winning photo, as well as several others that received honorable mention, on Venture’s blog: News from 9,318.

If you missed out on this round of Venture’s photo contest, you still have one final chance to get a shot at the grand prize - a brand spanking new Venture board. The last monthly competition will take place at the end of March. The monthly winners from September through March will then be entered into a second tier competition, to be judged in early April. The contest theme is “The Mountain Life” and anything goes - lifestyle, action, scenic, humor… as long as it reflects life in the mountains.
