C1RCA VS SKULL SKATES

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of PD's Hot Shop, C1RCA has teamed up with PD to produce the C1RCA VS Skull Skates shoe. Keen on the collaboration, Adrian Lopez suggested using his AL50 shoe as a base for the design. The exclusive box features photos from 3 decades of Skull Skates history. This limited release will hit selected stores across Canada and Japan in November. The Source is one of only a few shops in Alberta that carries this shoe so come check it out at any of our locations.

NIKE DAY OF THE DEAD HITS STORES TODAY

SHRED SEASON STARTS EARLY

Mt. Norquay has already opened and Sunshine will be opening on November 10th! The combination of 40 centimetres of fresh snow and snowmaking have provided for the earliest opening in the Norquay's history and the other resorts are on track for starting the season early!

GET TUNED, WAXED AND A GRIND

The SOURCETECH TUNE-UP SHOP is open! Waxing, edge tuning, base grinding or repairs - if your stick is a little limp you might want to drop it off to the master technicians at our snowboard repair and tuneup department. We are one of the few to have a state of the art Grindrite stone grinder for the ultimate base grind.

You probably don't care about riding faster, blasting bigger airs or getting stuck on the flats. BUT IF YOU DO - get your board in great shape for the season by getting a proper tuneup and wax from the experts here at the Source. Drop it off at any of our store locations.
