Whiteface is one thing but why combo that with gore. I know they're on the same pass and both orda but it's night and day for parks.

Toggenburg is where I grew up skiing- it's awesomely horrible. The bar used to be called the Foggy Goggle, not sure if it is still... Can any current locals confirm?

I grew up in Oneida, NY and started skiing in 1983 when I was 3 years old. Mostly at Woods Valley, Snow Ridge, and Togg. Stopped skiing at Togg in 1998 when I left for college.

I suppose stopping at say, anyplace in NH would be too much to ask. I dont get how all of NH gets left out of everything usually, we have like 15-20 resorts.

This is something i belive in way more than the Olympics. Direct outreach to local kids who would be so happy to have this at their home mountain.

Olympic thing is legit I understand it. Its hard to get money to travel to all the comps.

Tell A Friend is a free event open to everyone. I'm also giving away some legit stuff in the free raffle, and yes the pizza is a big perk. I did kinda screw my self last year and not grab slices at a few places. I got all caught up in the stuff I was doing and over looked the hot pies.

I also have some decent options for donating that aren't insanely high over the listed price at a shop or online. So if your looking to grab a new pair of skis take a look at our options!

https://www.rallyme.com/rallies/338/tellafriendtour|

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far!

Screw you man, one of my first memorys of an awesome day in the park was in 2008. At the killington dead presidents rail jam, Andy was there killing it (first time I ever saw a wizard trick) and bringing good vibes to everyone. Even talked me up to hit my first large down rail. I would gladly pay some money to have another fun sesh day with Andy and his crew.

Bump to help make this tour a reality!

https://www.rallyme.com/rallies/338/tellafriendtour%7C
(i can not make the link clickable...sorry. you will have to copy and paste)


Even if all you have is $1. help show Andy and crew your support with these kinds of events. This tour is not just something that will be fun for everyone, but might just create a new outlet in the future for ams and pros in our sport. kinda like skateboarding!

There is no Inspired Demo Tour this year and we really want to do another one in the future. So, lets show the ski industry that the consumer likes this tour idea.
