Ross' Gold(TM) Founder Ross Rebagliati extensively featured in Transworld Snowboarding's article called "Green Progression: Weed and Snowboarding in British Columbia"


WHISTLER, BC--(Marketwired - January 05, 2017) - Ross' Gold™, a division of Green and Hill Industries Inc. (OTC PINK: GHIL) (the "Company"), was pleased that it's founder Ross Rebaglaiti was featured in an article called Green Progression: Weed and Snowboarding in British Columbia written by Jesse Huffman for TransWorld SNOWboarding.

The article speaks about how snowboarding rose from nothing to being an Olympic Event in a little over a decade and some of the key players involved in its early days and now including Shin Campos, Kale Stephens and Andrew Geeves.

In the article, Jesse Huffman writes, "In 1987, snowboarding was lurching from an easily dismissed fringe activity to a loud and neon-colored blip on the national ski industry radar. There were already pro riders and even a Swatch-sponsored World Snowboarding Championship, but at that point Rebagliati and friends still couldn't ride the lifts in Canada. That switched a year later when Blackcomb opened to riders-Rebagliati was on the first chairlift up. Blackcomb embraced snowboarding, creating parks and hosting Craig Kelly's World Snowboard Camp. Rebagliati scored a World Snowboard Camp coaching position in the summer of 1988 and walked away with a Burton sponsorship deal. By 1990, he was a force on the local snowboard competition circuit as both an alpine and freestyle rider."

An excerpt goes on as follows: "Especially in British Columbia, weed and snowboarding grew up together. The drug is inching closer to legalization, while snowboarding transforms further into a 'sport.' Each is in the midst of a chaotic shift toward the mainstream. Growers and dealers seeing their profits go up in smoke as the industry becomes government regulated are likely pissed, but the average user can worry less, walking around with a bag in their pocket. Snowboarders concerned more with the culture than the sport aren't thrilled with Olympic hype and the push toward competitors becoming 'athletes.' The stakes may be different, but one thing is for sure: snowboarding and weed, especially in BC, will always be part of the same strain."

Ross Rebagliati, CEO of Green and Hill, commented, "Jesse hit it out of the park by painting an incredible expose about the roots of snowboarding and their intertwining with the emerging cannabis culture. Those of us who were the rebels of snowboarding are now the ones who understand the medicinal benefits of cannabis. We champion medicinal cannabis use in a responsible healthy fashion and promote its benefits to the athlete in all of us. We aren't just marketing to athletes, but it's more of a message that there's potential in each of us, and cannabis can be part of that potential."
