A Day For Jake
Riders across the globe are registered and set to shred one of the 13 participating resorts on Friday, March 13th for A Day For Jake. Burton Snowboards has organized A Day For Jake to serve as a global day of snowboarding to honor the life of Jake Burton Carpenter by bringing people together to do what he loved most, snowboarding.
Participating resorts offered free passes for those who registered by Sunday, March 8th, and will be provided branded armbands as a unifying symbol for the celebration. Although registration is closed for a free lift ticket at participating resorts, that doesn’t mean you can’t do your part to honor Jake’s legacy.
Create your own armband by cutting off a sleeve of a shirt, grab a paint pen, and get creative. Then make a plan and make it your own. Whether it’s your favorite backcountry trip, your local mountain, or your own backyard, just get out and ride for Jake. A Day for Jake is about snowboarding wherever you can, no matter where you are.
"Jake’s vision was to bring snowboarding to all. His dream, his perseverance, and his generosity were his gift to the world. As an industry, and as a community we come together for this day to remember, reflect and ride. Together we open our doors and open our hearts to carry Jake’s spirit forward; to share our love of the mountains and the joy of a perfect turn. Because snowboarding makes us happy. Snowboarding makes us hopeful. Snowboarding makes us free."
