Ditching the Desks: 5th Annual OfficeBooyz April 9th at Mount Seymour

Apr 5, 2010

Every year donut-fueled snowboard industry pencil pushers take to the slopes to get out their pent out aggression and show off heavily caffeinated style over a course of absured jumps, rails and features in a contest called OfficeBooyz. This year sedentary workers will dust themselves off and head to Mount Seymour, a change from past years where the contest was held on Grouse.

Events will commence Friday, April 9 at noon, and the paper shufflers will partake in a dual slalom, office cross (we hope this is some sort of course involving snowboarding to stapling and shipping stations), high jump, quasi big air, hotdog eating contest, best costume, scorpion king, standout gut of the day (have to feel sorry for the judge of that particular event), most grays, OB Champ among others. Sounds like the fraternity sports day from Revenge of the Nerds, minus the electric violins but maybe with jocks dressed as cheerleaders, either way, hilarious.

Whether last year's top dogs like Dez Price of No Limits who won Scorpion King status or Scott Herbert of Face Shots who reigned over Obstacle Avoidence will keep their spots of dominance remains to be seen. How someone trains to win the Least Flexible title we're not sure, but we bet Jay Good of No Limits won't give it up without a very stiff fight.

Prizes last year included a rubber chicken, Jamiesons scotch and a McDonald's gift certificate. With so much on the line, we're sure everyone will be in fine form. Be sure to show up to cheer on the unsung heroes of the industry as they fight for dominance, lose some dignity and enjoy an afternoon out of the office.
