May have to quit my job to attend all these epic fests this season...nice work Wade!

maybe not quit my job, but I will be taking a couple extra days off for it this time!

It was great seeing everybody last year and had a blast for two days.Thanks for putting this on wade.

Kickass! Thanks again Wade, for putting together the stellar splitfest last year, I'll be there this year for sure.

any edmontonians heading out?

Anyone from Utah thinking of heading up? I am hoping to head up but figure the drive alone would be boring.

Im in

Missed this last year, no way I will miss it again

Fly into Calgary? Anybody up for a carpool from the airport?

I need a green sponsor

Its in the calendar....I'm in and look forward to getting out and meeting some fellow splitters. Thanks for organising Wade!

The raffle keeps getting bigger and bigger. Prior is back again with a custom splitboard, Voile is also back with a MojoRX (with Light Rail bindings), Libtech is also back and have stepped up to a splitboard as well (up from a solid board last year) and Down the Middle has also ante'd up with their DTM custom - you send them a solid, they send you a splitboard back.

For those who aren't good at math, that's 4 (FOUR!) splitboards up for grabs at the raffle this year. Plus other goodies too - check the full list - and keep watching for more updates!

Sweet! Calgary is biggest airport, likely best rates. Spokane and a rental car would be another option - likely cheaper airfare, but quite a drive. I suspect green should be as plentiful as the white. Already a meter at treeline...

Awesome! Can't wait forth is again. See if I can win me another split board.

2012 version of the logo is out. Stay tuned for event poster and t-shirt design/purchase link coming soon
