Festival
You feel it. Admit it. That insatiable urge. That's right. That urge to take all your snowboard gear outta hibernation and strap it all on in your house. Weirdo. Anyhoo, I'm getting there. All sorts of gear vendors here with the latest and greatest, all the top resorts will be here like Whistler, Vail, Jackson Hole, Squaw and some will have special deals. And of course, we would not recommend a venue that didn't serve wine and local brew! Oh yeah, with your admission get a free lift ticket, good at places you'll never go including Bear Valley, Dodge Ridge (where?), and Sierra Summit. Plus, local heroes Jonny Mosley and better yet Daron Rahlves!
