COLD + FAN GUNS = SNOW, PARKS

What's up people? The time has arrived.. What time you say..

Time to grab that old beanie from under your car seat.

Time to think....Where are my gloves?

Time to think.... Maybe I should buy an ice scraper for my car.

Time to think... It's time to ski and ride damn it.

Mother Nature finally decided to turn the heat down and jump into winter so
Mount Snow and Carinthia are OPENING this weekend!!!

That's right with 251 fan guns firing off snow from here to Amherst we are going to have some of the best terrain in the East open come this weekend.

We'll be open with top to bottom primo skiing and riding on 116 acres... That's a lot of land people. Expect to make some turns on Canyon/Standard, Deer Run/Long John on the Main Face and as well as Chute over on the North Face. Carinthia will house TWO terrain parks, one top-to-bottom on Nitro and Lower Titanium and a smaller park on The Gulch. Our park crew will install at LEAST 20 boxes and rails and possibly a jump or two from what I heard from TB.

I hoped on my snowmobile today and had the pleasure of installing the last few Carinthia Trail signs. It was crazy the amount of snow that's out there and Gaitor and his crew of rangers were already out there putting in some rails for the weekend. The brand spanking new orange signs really stand out all over and I know if they could they'd be screaming for joy. I would. They have the best spots to watch people jib and fly through the air all season long on 12 terrain parks and 2 pipes.

Not only are they going to be there to watch all of you but they'll be out there to watch the the AWESOMENESS as my friend Lisa would say of the Winter Dew Tour.

I mean come on. Shaun White. The flying tomato here at Mount Snow.

Gretchen Blieler. Not only a ridiculous snowboarder but might I say a gorgeous one too.

Then our local girl Kelly Clark she'll be here. I hang with her brother every other day down at TC's. KC is going to go big cause that's what she does. I can't wait to see her launch out of the pipe and nab that top air on the meter in the pipe.

Tanner Hall. Yeah he still remembers Mount Snow's first XGames because of a party thrown by Red Bull back in the day.

Parties, parties, parties. So far I've talked to record producers, grassroots marketing directors, local business owners, all who want to throw a P-A-R-T-Y. Why.. Because we got to...

Screw New Years this year. Stay at home, watch the big ball fall in your PJ's drink some water for a week because come January 8th. It's on and you'll need to be hydrated to ski, ride, scream, party, then do it over again for four straight days....

In and around Boston this weekend? Stop by the Mount Snow Booth at the Boston Ski and Snowboard Expo at the Bayside Expo Center for a chance to win some free lift tickets, some Dew Tour shwag, and some pretty sweet Carinthia Pint Glasses.

I'm out to meet up with my boy Tim down at TC's for a cold one.
