WinterWonderGrass Lives up to its Billing in Their Inaugural Event at Stratton Mountain

Having covered WinterWonderGrass in the past for other publications, I have always been stoked on their format of combining the mountain setting with craft beer and bluegrass music. The idea that it is held yearly at such iconic locations as Steamboat and Squaw only adds to the allure. So when, this summer, WWG announced that it was coming to Stratton Mountain, a ski resort in southern Vermont that I spend plenty of time at yearly, I knew instantly that I just had to attend. Fast forward to the fall when I met the festival's founder, Scotty Stoughton, at a media event in...

Hop Culture to Throw An 80's Après-Ski Party That Any Craft Beer Lover Would Enjoy

Photo Credit: Hop Culture Magazine Ahhhhh...the 80's. What a great decade for mountain culture? Highlighter bright colors, jackets with shoulder pads or, better yet, a onesie, straight skis the length of picnic tables, pit viper sunglasses, big hair flowing in the wind as you raced down the mountain. Yup, 80's skiing was spectacular and so was the après with its cheap light beer, snow bunnies and classic sweaters. I could go on and on about what defined this generation on the mountain however, I'll spare you an even longer list of details. and just encourage you to watch the movie Hot...

Park City Breaks Longest Shot Ski Record. Ball is Now in Your Court Breckenridge.

If you follow my Instagram page @allaboutapres you know that we are a big fan of our Good Times Shot Ski, a collab that we did last winter with Facet Skis. Winter, spring, summer or fall, if there's a party or even a small gathering, the shot ski is waxed up and ready to roll. Whether it's in the backyard at a BBQ or at a bar during apres-ski the shot ski is the ultimate friend maker. It's been bringing people together since its inception and when it comes off the shelf, it's always a good time. This past weekend the people of Park...

Stratton Mountain Giving Skiers and Snowboarders an Alternative Look at Music Festivals

Stratton Hosts SKI-QX Winter Music Festival I love all kinds of music, from rap to country to Sinatra, I listen to it all. However, when recently asked what type of tunes I jam to on the way up to the mountain I gave it very little thought, answering instantly, alternative music. Maybe it's because I grew up during the 90's when the grunge alternative scene was at its height, but there is something about that genre that just fires me up for the weekend. In fact, having made the drive from Jersey to Vermont many times, I have developed a list of favorite...

Red Bull Switchboard as Unique as its Jersey Locations

All photos credited to Kyle Arcamano. I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I grew up on the Jersey Shore and at the age of 39 I can count on one finger how many times that I have visited the beach during the winter months. I spend the entire summer there, however when Labor day rolls around my beach going days come to a very abrupt end. Similarly, as a long time skier, my visits to NJ based ski resort, Mountain Creek, have been equally limited. I almost always opt for the longer drive and larger mountains of Vermont. So...
