2012 WICed Fest Snowboard Trip – The Warm-Up!

Posted on 15-February-2012 by

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!  Read more...

Posted on 16-September-2011 by

The WICed Fest is heading to Snowmass!

Snowmass Powder!

Hey folks – I don’t know what the weather is like where you are right now, but here on Long Island it seems that we’re heading full blast into fall.  Temps were in the low 50′s when I woke up this morning and aren’t expected to get out of the mid 60′s this weekend.  Football is back on TV and the Octoberfest brews are lining the shelf.  With all these signs of fall, snowboarding can’t be far behind!
