Last Week for Skiing at NC's Appalachian Ski Mountain

Recent cold temperature and more natural snow are sending the NC Ski Season out "with a bang".

March 21
Event: St Patrick's Day Park Jam
This year, the Alpine Ski Shop will collaborate with the High Fives foundation and Nighttrain Clothing to bring you a better St. Patrick’s day Park Jam than ever and support a great cause. Bring your green hat. This will be the second season of the Park Jam, which was conceptualized by the Alpine Ski Shop, who will be providing some terrific prizes for standouts thanks to Line, Saga, Anon, Burton, Roxy, Giro, and Nighttrain. 


March 22
Event: Red Bull Schlittentag
Schlittentag may be the German word for “sledding day”, but the best way to describe it is “daredevils willing to propel themselves down a snow-covered hill and over a jump on a sled they built themselves”. All you need is a little imagination, courage, a couple of friends and off you go. This wacky event includes three person teams willing to stretch their imagination to build the wildest, fastest sled possible. One member will act as driver as the other two will give their sled the push it needs to win the race and the fame and fortune that follows. The sleds will be judged on artistic merit, innovation, team spirit and race results. The winners will receive VIP Passes to Moogfest April 23-27th.
