The Unclaimed Baggage Center, located in Alabama, is hosting their 30th annual Winter and Ski Event on November 5th. This sale attracts winter sport enthusiasts from all over the nation who go there for the bargains and steals. Since this is the only store where all unclaimed baggage is brought to, one will never know what to expect walking in.

 Downtown Throwdown in San Fran and LG World Snowboarding Cup in London bring Snowboarding to the City
Snowboarding is no longer just a sport for the ski resorts; it is now on the streets. The streets of big cities such as San Francisco and London are now starting to witness the gnarliness of snowboarding. Snowboard companies Lib Tech and Snowboy Productions are hosting a rail jam to bring the snowboard atmosphere to the streets of San Francisco. With $10,000 in prizes, music, food, and raffles, the event is sure to pump people up about the world of snowboarding. Across the Atlantic Ocean, London is hoping to do the same.

Like the event in San Francisco, the Relentless Freeze Festival will bring the snowboard atmosphere to the streets with music, food, and lots of steeze with their 100 meter long jump. Snowboarders and skiers are expected to wow the crowd with “a full blown trick off where we can guarantee to see the sickest tricks in the world”.
