Boarding For Breast Cancer was beyond stoked for the last 2 stops of the Shred the Love Tour, Alpine Meadows & Sierra-At-Tahoe! Our B4BC Community showed up for both stops we’re thrilled to announce over $22K was raised for B4BC’s education, prevention and survivorship programs.
Shred the Love – Alpine Meadows weekend kicked off with an Art Show + Silent Auction at Alibi Ale Works in Truckee. Local and nation wide artists painted Arbor Skate Decks that were displayed in Alibi along with tables of Silent Auction pieces from our amazing sponsors YETI, GoPro, The North Face, Roxy, Smith, Dakine and Roxy. Artist Rachel Fritz painted live during the event and her art deck sold at the end of the night. Beers and kombuchas were flowing while Grass After Dark started the music with The Pixie and PartyGrass Boys band! Thanks to Alibi Ale Works for hosting!

Saturday started with Sport Basement bringing in people from the Bay Area to Alpine Meadows on the Powder Bus! Demo Day was in full swing while B4BC registered participants for the Shred-A-Thon! Ranging from 5 years old to 65, Shred-A-Thon participants started on Kangaroo run while cruising through an obstacle course. The winner completed 12 laps total and took him prizing from our amazing sponsors, YETI, Vans, Suja Organic and GoPro!
