ARIES2010 is a project to store some of snowboarding's most historical documentation and records for future generations to appreciate.
From photographs and historical discourse to trick schematics and some of the sport’s most pivotal gear, some of these artifacts will be enclosed for 10 years inside the ARIES2010 pod. The physical arachnid, lunar lander was designed and built by Brian Addison Elliot. Xenon gas inside the pod will ensure its contents are preserved in their original state. Artists, photographers, iconic riders and authors have contributed to the collection that tells the story of snowboarding. The 2010 Vancouver Olympics was chosen as an ideal place to launch ARIES2010.
Two parties were held at the Boardroom in Vancouver. The opening was held on FEB 13, 2010 the closing show was on FEB 19, 2010.The first video is a recap of both launch parties showing some of the content which will be stored in the capsule.
