Wild Corn! A celebration of our staple crop! Corn snow! 

BUY TICKETS HERE

We are super excited to be working with Granite Backcountry Alliance to help them launch this event to announce several glade skiing projects in the states of NH and ME and join different trail groups from across the northeast for one night of shindiggery goodness!! 

There will be several guest speakers including the keynote speaker and godfather of northeast b/c skiing David Goodman (author of Appalachian Mountain Club's Best Backcountry Skiing in the Northeast). David will discuss the issues related with trail disclosure, secret stashes, the 4th edition, and changes in backcountry skiing since his first book in 1989. 

Liz Burakowski from Protect Our Winters will be talking about this wacky winter and what it means for GBA's glading projects and winter recreation in the future!

Music from BlueBus Semimobile Orchestra and plenty of appetizors, vendors, raffles, auctions and FUN! More to come and hopefully a few surprises too!

Tickets: $10 (available on eventbrite) / $15 at door!
