Vail Snow Daze is here, let the fun begin! The mountains of Colorado have been getting dumped on this year to give us skiers and snowboarders an amazing early winter season. I’ve been able to get in 10-15 days so far and except for the opening days at a few resorts, I had fresh powder almost every day. For all the skiers and snowboarders that are spending more time at Vail Resorts than home, Vail Resorts wants to THANK YOU and me!!

And as we all know, when Vail Resorts puts on an event, as we all know they don’t skimp. For this years Vail Snow Daze, they have brought in a great musical line-up that should appease almost anyone. The line-up includes the artist; OAR, Weezer, Dwight Yoakam, Master Mike, and more. Aside from these amazing artist, there are also other events that include parties hosted by Captain Morgan and Bud Light for those who love the bar scene. For the gear addicts out there, there will be a ton of ski and snowboard manufactures that will be demoing their latest and greatest gear.

So if you don’t have plans yet this weekend, be sure to check out Vail Snow Daze. If you do have plans, cancel them and head up to Vail and enjoy the party!
