Welch Village plans to provide a venue for this competition that will create an atmosphere rarely seen in the Midwest. Ski and Snowboard videos will be projected on a giant 20ft. screen and a 8 speaker sound system. In addition, a live band will perform leading up to the competition with a DJ taking over from there.
