street, surface lot. Quick &
easy access.
The Portland area
Grant/Cleveland/Franklin/Benson high
schools teams are expanding their
annual Eastside Community Ski Swap to
include a racers-only swap/sale as a
racer-specific preamble to their usual
gear swap.
This event on the 29th is part of the
16th annual Eastside Ski Team Ski Swap
happening on Saturday and Sunday,
October 30 (12 - 7 pm), and October 31
(11 - 1 pm).
Every club, category, coach, and age
group is invited to bring used race
equipment to sell, knowing that many
other racers will be there looking for
deals to buy.
The swap will operate like any
swap. Bring equipment to sell,
check it in, we handle the
sales. In the end, the seller
keeps 2/3rds (67%) of the
profits. Any unsold equipment
should be picked up on Sunday, Oct.
31, from 2 - 3 pm.
Dust off your old stuff and come sell
it. Also, come ready to shop for
equipment to add to your quiver at
bargain prices. New race gear
has gotten uber expensive, so
buying/selling used equipment should
be a win-win. |

snowboard film from Warren Miller
Entertainment will chase winter from
coast to coast with friends old and
new in the places that keep our

throws at us. From Alaska's Prince
William Sound, where the only first
tracks you'll encounter belong to
bears, to Maine's community of
craftsmen and women devoted to
sliding on snow. We're sharing the
dreams of Olympic ambitions and the
resolve of adaptive athletes.
Follow big mountain skiers Marcus
Caston and Connery Lundin on a road
trip of a lifetime all the way up to
Alaska. Catch up with speed riding
legend JT Holmes and meet new
friends like Madison Rose and Vasu
Sojitra. Get stoked because winter
starts now. Level up your winter
with Warren Miller when you join
Outside+. Find out more at

Mountain Revelations
follows three professional
snowboarders Jeremy Jones, Ryan
Hudson, and Rafael Pease - on a
human-powered 10-day mission in a
remote corner of the Chugach
Mountain Range in Alaska. As they
explore epic lines on the steep and
unforgiving terrain, the physical
and emotional challenges they
overcome during the harsh, endless
days of the waning Alaskan winter
serve as a catalyst to examine the
roles their backgrounds had on their
respective paths to this expedition.
Their stories could not be more
different from Ryan Hudson growing
up homeless on the streets of San
Diego to finding the mountains and
changing his life, to Rafaels
experiences growing up between
Miami, Texas, and Chile and becoming
a young, elite mountain explorer, to
Jeremy Jones adventures growing up
on Cape Cod and evolving into the
worlds preeminent big mountain
snowboarders. However, despite the
differences in socioeconomic
backgrounds, skin color, and
opportunity, they each found their
paths and passions in the mountains.
Mountain Revelations showcase their
stories while addressing the hurdles
institutional racism, lack of
access to opportunity, wealth
disparity, and more - that were
overcome along the way.
Within these wild Alaskan Mountains,
the realities and stark disparity of
their respective journeys are
revealed with a candidness and
honest reflection that makes the
mountain challenges pale in
comparison to the everyday
challenges that too many people
continue to face every day.

Productions presents
November 19 (Friday)
Location: Snowvana,
Oregon Convention Center., Portland,
OR
This action-packed
feature explores the backyards and
zones our pro skiers can frequent
every day (sometimes with a little
extra effort and ingenuity). From a
born-and-raised resort in Idaho to
the spectacular Lyngen Alps just
outside their hometowns in northern
Norway, our skiers thrive in whats
familiar and find thrills in the
unexpected. In the process,
they manage to re-discover what is
home. And home delivers in
spades.
