Arbor Events Strikes Again: Movie Premiers

Posted on: November 16, 2009 by admin

Arbor premiers Bear Mountain’s Parkumentary and Think Thank’s Cool Story to a packed house.

The party was on at the Arbor headquarters in Venice.

On Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th, Arbor hosted the West Los Angeles premier of Bear Mountain’s new movie, Parkumentary and Think Thank’s latest release, Cool Story. Snowboarders from all over coastal LA descended on Arbor’s Venice headquarters for one of the biggest “pray for snow” parties in the area. The free beer flowed from Pyramid Brewery and Pabst as the films played and the DJ’s popped. Snowboards, skateboards, apparel, bindings, magazine subscriptions and lift tickets from Arbor, Flux, Snowboarder Magazine, Bear Mountain, and Snow Summit were raffled off to dozens of lucky winners. Honest Tea kicked down liquid for the kids and the designated drivers. The house was packed for another great Arbor event and good times where had by all. The success of this event guarantees that the snow will now come in feet so get ready!

Arbor team riders, Pat Milbery and Moss Halladay give it away.
