Marshmallow Walrus Screening & A climate of Optimism Panel Discussion

What To Expect

Join us in-store for a full evening with snow ambassador Marie-France Roy and POW Canada for a double feature!

Part 1: We will start by watching Arbor snowboards new video "Marshmallow Walrus". M.W. is a short film chronicling an Alaskan peregrination through the Chugach Mountain Range, across Turnagain Pass, and deep into the icy depths of the Kenai Fjords aboard the Milo Surf Boat. With a directive, but no specific plan in place, Marie-France Roy and her two teammates traverse mountain, river, and ocean in search of the most remote waves and big mountain lines that Alaska has to offer.

Part 2: We will all listen to the "Patagonia Stories: A Climate of Optimism" together and dive into a Q&A/ panel discussion with MFR, Mark from POW, and a Patagonia staff member.

Get to Know Our Event Speakers

Marie-France Roy

Professional Snowboarder, Patagonia Ambassador, & Climate Activist

Marie-France Roy grew up in Quebec, Canada, and began following her two older brothers around the local resort on a snowboard at 11 years old. A love for snowboarding influenced her move to Whistler, British Columbia, and she has been happily living the life of a professional snowboarder for over a decade. From her early competition experience at the X Games to her more recent back-to-the-mountains approach, Roy has traveled the world while enjoying the ride. Known for being one of the most stylish and versatile riders in snowboarding, Roy is also recognized for her humble and giving nature. She is the recipient of the 2015 Climate Activist Award from Protect Our Winters and TransWorld SNOWboarding magazine. Roy divides her time between Whistler and a self-built, environmentally-minded cob home on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
