One of the most fun times you can have in Summit County for the most worthwhile reasons. I remember the first year of the bash when I wondered in from Ldvil and knew few people. I left with some new ski partners and a coupon for a pair of custom footbeds. I had known I would inbib too much so I was staying at the sponsored discounted hotel in Breck. I stumbled in after the Bash and went straight to the hotel's computer business center and posted up a glorious review. (before smartphones and I had met) Funny that posting was the first thing I thought of...goes to show what an impact the night had made on me.

Don't miss this event if you are anywhere within reasonable driving distance! If you are going to drink , split a discounted room and stay the night or have a real DD. Many of these bashes since that inaugural event have had near blizzards going on outside as inside teams with great music, food, beer, and PRIZES!!!!

Now my little company is a sponsor and I wouldn't be anywhere else on this night! Aaron, Joe and the FoCAIC really pull out the stops to make this event great. See ya there!
