"The Big Kicker at the Big Picture" takes place on Saturday, November 20, and offers something for all ages.
Outside Magazine's August issue named Waitsfield as the Best Ski Town in the East, coming on the heels of a recent delegation by Travel and Leisure Magazine as "one of America's best small ski towns."
"The Mad River Valley is unique, for the incredible skiing and riding it
offers as well as for its beauty and authenticity. At Sugarbush, we
realize that Mad River Glen only enhances the experience we can offer to
our many guests. So we want to be doing more to celebrate that
partnership," says Sugarbush president and owner Win Smith.
"When Sugarbush has more skier visits, Mad River Glen has more skier
visits. We're in this together," says Eric Friedman, marketing director
for Mad River Glen.
The Big Kicker will get underway at 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 20,
with a Rail Jam demonstration by the Sugarbush Parks team in the theater
parking lot (weather permitting).
A photography exhibit entitled "In Your Dreams Snow Photo Show" will be
on display in the lobby of the theater, and an open reception for the
photographers Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson, Sandy Macys, Mike Rydell,
John Atkinson and Aaron Blatt will take place at 6 p.m.
Dan Egan of the Egan Extreme Team that co-starred in 12 Warren Miller
films will speak about some of his extreme skiing adventures before
sharing his latest <MI>Wild World of Winter<D> free movie.
DJ Kaoss and Friends take over the entertainment at 8:30 p.m.,
presenting a laser disco dance show. Indoor and outdoor slideshows,
vintage ski footage, an ice bar and a bonfire will round out this
kickoff event.
Both Sugarbush and Mad River Glen representatives will be on hand to
raffle off a free season pass to each ski resort. The raffle will take
place at 9 p.m. and winners must be present to collect their prizes.
The Big Kicker is intended to be an annual community-wide celebration.
In addition to Mad River Glen, Sugarbush and the Big Picture Theater,
many other organizations have stepped in to sponsor the festivities.
