Two Après-Ski Parties Will Make Lord Hobo's Ski Trip One For the Ages

Beer is a beautiful thing. It's non-divisive, non-discriminative, the ultimate harmonizer bringing people together no matter what their socioeconomic background. That is exactly what Lord Hobo Brewing Company and their appropriately named craft beer brand stands for. Within the Lord Hobo brand stands five sub-components that follow suit, one of which being adventure links the two activities that we love most, skiing and après-ski. Just like with beer, there are no heirarchical barriers in the adventure world, just physical ones that we strive to overcome. Skiing, Snowboarding, biking, hiking can be done by just about anyone and at the end of it all we offer...

Two Times the Tuohy, Beast Mode and More Make for an exciting Winterfest Weekend at Mount Snow

It's kind of hard to believe, but I was so focused on getting up to Mount Snow for our annual Presidents' Weekend family trip that I really hadn't tuned into the site to see what they had in store for us this past weekend. So there we sat Friday night, winding down from an annoying traffic riddled holiday weekend drive, beer in hand finally taking a look. My friend Grant, smile across his face, rattled off the details. Saturday Jeff Tuohy is playing on the Cuzzins Patio followed by Bruce Jacques at Cuzzins then Sunday Beast mode followed by Bruce...

Hey Eric, how did you end up in Vail Village tonight anyway?

Riding shotgun in an Uber from Vail Village to the Riverfront Westin in Avon, I turned to our new found friend Eric, who managed to tag along for the night and was sitting in the back with my buddy Steve, and asked, "Hey Eric, how did you end up in Vail Village tonight anyway?" "Ehhhhhhhhh," was the only sound that came from behind reminding me a lot of a drunk Dan Akroyd in the movie Trading Places. This really begs the question, how did we even get to a point in the evening where we ultimately acquired another human being that we had...

Monster Energy After Hours Makes A Triumphant Return To Jack Frost

If there is one thing that I know about the skiing down here in the NY, NJ and Pa area is that the weather can be a bit unpredictable. When it is good, so is the skiing. When it is iffy, well...we throw a party. Nobody knows how to do this better than Jack Frost Big Boulder, who consistently compliments their fun skiing with a host of entertaining events and an exciting après-ski scene. A Little Rain Couldn't Slow Jack Frost Down The most recent of these events was last weekend's Monster Energy After Hours, a freeride competition that offered cash...

Mount Snow Offering a Little Something For Everyone This MLK Weekend

It should come as no surprise that Martin Luther King Weekend is one of the busiest ski weekends of the year. Coming off the brief lull that follows the holiday week and the new year, many families are anxious to return to the slopes for this second phase of the ski season. Not to be left out of this equation is my very own family who is raring to go after a month layoff, thanks to some really crappy warm weather to end the year. However, we are stoked to return to one of our favorite family mountains, Mount Snow,...
