It’s time to take off your jeans, celebrate Mother Earth and do a good deed for the community! When you bring in a pair of gently used jeans to PlumpJackSport, we’ll give you 30% off your purchase of a new pair of designer denim. Revitalize your wardrobe with the latest and greatest by Hudson and Rock & Republic. Used jeans will benefit Tahoe Forest Hospital’s Hospice Program.

The triathlon of our generation, Ultimate Boarder™, is the only event of its kind: a one-week competition to find the first athlete who can conquer the art of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. Opening the field to both amateur and professional athletes, the Ultimate Boarder™, gives unknown riders a chance to shine alongside the pros and compete for the first-ever Ultimate Boarder™ champion title and a first place prize of $30,000. The snowboard competition will be held at Squaw Valley USA on April 13, 2008.

Listen to Saul Kaye.

Squaw Valley is known worldwide as a bastion of athletic extremism. Watch as extremists of another sort showcase their talents at the Mamasake Sushi and Wasabi Eating Nationals.
