The Tailgate, Saturday, May 12

This is the season-launching event, a happening that will give us a chance to get together, share our passion and celebrate.

The event will take place in Mont-Tremblant Ski Resort’s P3 parking area. Various companies will present their new stuff and allow participants to demo their mountain bikes.

It’s a fair, as well, where people can sell and exchange equipment and bicycle components. The Caravane de sEb will be on-site, the atmosphere will be festive and the music lively, with hosting.

It’s also a day when you can buy your season pass and have a chance to win a super Manitou Jack seat post offered by S4 Suspension, or one of ten entries for Scandinave Mont-Tremblant.
