Note: This schedule is subject to change.

This year we’d like to ask our attendees to support all the shops, non-profits and supporters this year.

It’s been a wild year and this year we decided to try and support all the people and operations that have given us so much over the past 10 years.

Some have invited us to present outreach presentations, some have donated gear or services, but all of them have been important pieces of our mountain community. So if you’re in a position to shop, support or donate to these fine organizations please do.
