SHRED THE LOVE | COPPER MOUNTAIN
Presented by SUJA ORGANIC
January 24th-25th, 2020

B4BC’s Shred the Love first stop, brought the Pink Poker Run and lots of fun to beautiful Copper Mountain for a three-day fun-filled weekend, on January 24th and 25th. 

New this year, a pre-event was held at Arc’teryx in Denver on Thursday, January 16th with a breast cancer survivor braving the crowd and speaking on their experiences as well as our work here at B4BC. 

The weekend then kicked off Friday, January 24th at Ten Mile Tavern in the Village with an Art Show + Silent Auction where the stoke was high with powder days in the forecast. One highlight from the night was a couple of young lift operators who bought out the skate deck art pieces to decorate their apartment! Big thanks to Ten Mile Tavern for your support, donations and an amazing time.

On Saturday, January 25th we started the first-ever Pink Poker Run at Copper Mountain with five stops on the mountain and in the village, helping attendees get active and ride as they picked the best cards to try for the best hand. Winners were announced at the Awards Ceremony and they went home with some amazing prizes from YETI, Suja, The North Face, Vans and other sponsors. 

Participants helped rally over 40 people for the Tribute Ride! The Tribute Ride honors all of those we love and have lost who can’t be shredding with us that day. A lot of mountain riders came by the booth to check out Suja so they could be hydrated and energized for a day of pow.

Also happening at the resort that day was a girl ride day in B4BC’s honor hosted by The Women of Colorado and a long time B4BC volunteer, Sunnie Graves. The ladies ride day had over 25 like-minded skiers and snowboarders and they contributed to the HUGE raffle!

We closed the weekend in Colorado raising over $7500 for our education, prevention, and survivorship programs! We are so grateful to the staff at Copper Mountain Resort, Ten Mile Tavern Employees, the Arc’teryx store and their employees, our amazing speaker – Meredith Smith and our volunteers for the weekend, Angela DAbrosca, Katie Bland, Chris Bryant, Meredith Smith, Dave Cerrone, Sunnie Waves and Julia Spadaro.
