Description

Manufactured snowboard with animal designs decorating both sides. The top features a sun, ram, a bear paw, and a whale in burgundy on a white background while a white wolf adorns the black bottom.

Iconographic Meaning

The Challenger snowboard was described by the designer as follows: "Trans Swirl represents the sky and symbolizes the idea of getting into a spiritual place or to focus. The Sxwayxwii mask is the highest honorary ceremony mask of Squamish Nation [and] could also be seen as the Big Horned Sheep on its hind legs ready to challenge. Coast Salish eyes symbolize being watched by the creator, ancestors, community, family, friends and you. Killer Whale represents the power of two worlds. The Bear Paw is [the artist's] signature and the colour, temixw, means protection and earth."
