The VMBA Days series is coming back for its sixth season with some new great additions. We’re beyond excited to welcome back Lawsons Finest Liquids as the presenting partner of the series. We’re also happy to welcome POC as a supporter of the series as well.

For DH, we are bringing back our ‘New to DH’ and ‘Show Me Around The Resort’ group rides. These will be led byVMBA Ambassadors. At each stop we will also have a Community Builder partner that will lead their own group rides. Signing up for group rides secures a raffle ticket for the day. Not only do you get a chance to win the rad items below, you will be supporting trails!

At each stop of the series, we will also be hosting a fun activity specific to that resort. At Bolton Valley we will be doing a dual slalom, scavenger hunt and more. After everyone gets their riding in, Lawsons will be hosting an on-site Aprés and providing a limited amount of beverages to raffle ticket purchasers. During the Aprés, we will also pull the winners of the raffle!

Please see below for a full breakdown of the activities, timing, prizes, and other rad things we have in the works for this stop. With limited space available, make sure to secure your spot on a ride. Make sure to make it to this one becuase we will be ending it of in fashion.
