Grenade, a worldwide leader in action sports, and Monster Energy have joined forces to bring the Grenade Games to Canada. Get ready for Grenade Games 5, happening April 20-26, 2009 in Whistler, B.C. during the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival.

“The Grenade Games are a one of a kind experience, the best of what makes snowboarding great,” says Grenade President, Danny Kass. “We’ve put together a schedule of events that will inspire riders and give fans something new to look at. It’s the end of season party you do not want to miss.”

The Grenade Games are known for putting a Grenadian spin on traditional snowboarding events, and this year’s contest is no exception. Here’s a look at the lineup:

Monday, April 20 — Registration and Welcome Party Get warmed up for a week of madness.
Tuesday, April 21 — Poker Run
