2012 WICed Fest Snowboard Trip – The Warm-Up!
If you have been hanging around the WICed Fest recently, you’re probably pretty tuned into the fact that a small faction of us are heading out to Colorado this year. Heading out west has been something we’ve been talking about as a group since we first started riding together.
Unfortunately, on a select group of us are able to head out west. And we’ve been heading north with the same basic group of folks for the last decade and then some. We didn’t want to stop that. Plus, we had to do a warm-up trip for Colorado!
So, in an effort to maintain some continuity to the WICed Fest, we threw together a quick weekend trip up to Attitash in Bartlett, NH. The trip was nothing fancy – head up on Friday to a little cabin, ride on Saturday and head home Sunday. But, in true WICed Fest style, we made the most of this trip!

Gone Snowboarding…Suckas!
The WICed Fest will be experiencing some radio silence this week as our posse heads north to invade the usually calm confines of Attitash Mountain Resort in New Hampshire. We’ll be back next week with a recap and, hopefully, another resort review.

Trip Announcement | Heading To Attitash!
Long story short, planning a trip in January has been a major fiasco…BUT, I’m happy to announce that we’ve secured a deal to head up to Attitash for the nights of January 27th and 28th for a day of riding on January 28th!
Here’s the details:
- Arrival Date: Friday, January 27, 2012

I’ve locked up this cabin - an email ASAP if you’re in! Basically, I’m going to fill the trip on a first come first serve basis and once the beds are full, the trip is full. If you’re the next person after the beds are full, I’ll let you know. If you don’t mind crashing on the floor (or with a buddy), we’ll add you too.
Hurry up and book your spot now!

General Mountain Information
Location
Burke Mountain is located in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom (NEK) about fifteen minutes off of Interstate 91 (7 miles from exit 24 to be exact). The drive from the New York area took roughly six and a half hours due to the fact that the NEK had a snowstorm the night before and the roads were only partially plowed. The drive home took six hours exactly. Folks from Boston and southeastern Massachusetts reported that their drive was roughly four hours.

Snowboard Review: Blak Sheep Gnarly State Park Stik
*** This article was originally posted ont the now defunct ActionXSportsNews.com which was run by a WICed Fest member. The article has been slightly modified to fit within the WICed Fest site. ***
The WICed Fest crew was able to demo a Blak Sheep Gnarly State Park Stik (GSPS) during a 2011 trip to Burke Mountain in Vermont. According to Blak Sheep, these boards are “designed to meet the demands of todays jumps and rails…these boards are capable of anything the Ice Coast can throw at them. A perfect ‘Daily Driver’ for freestyle and general ripping.” What we found was a board that actually lived up to the hype. Now, in an effort of full disclosure, Doug Smith (one of the co-owners of Blak Sheep) is a friend of the WICed Fest and frequently attends our annual snowboard trips. That fact notwithstanding, here’s what we thought about this relatively new company’s latest offering.

We decided to return to the Northeast Kingdom area of Vermont in 2009 when the WICed Fest visited Burke Mountain – the first of two trips to this hidden gem. Despite the blast we had riding, we were able to snap a few pictures. We hope you enjoy!
If you have any additional pictures from this trip, send them to us here and we’ll make sure they are added to the gallery.
