I spy a swallowtail. Cool.

Thanks for putting it all together, the event went off perfectly. Here are the group photos Jeremiah took last night:

I want to thank everyone who came out. Myself and Keffler were very appreciative of everyone's awesome attitude, high stoke level, and respect for the event. We especially want to thank you all for taking care of the houses. We look forward to next year and hope everyone can come back and get the same amount of beer, 2x as much snow and 10x as much stability. Thanks for making the first year a success everyone.

I think my favorite time at the fest was prior to the event, doing a line and having Dan from Winterstick drive up after. Our conversation was fun.

Dan: "Does it go?"
Ben (skier friend): "Yeah, it goes"
Me, coming out from car as fast as possible, "No it totally doesn't go, I looked into it, cliffs out"
Dan: "Oh, well that's no good, it looked possible. I'm in for the Splitfest, are you guys going?"
Me: "You are? Well I'm Jason, I'm running the event. Nice to meet you. And oh yeah, that line does go. I'm going to do it tomorrow".

And pics from that line

Nice work, dudes.

Did anyone get a picture of the catered food? I missed getting one and really wanted to show it off. Melissa at Elevated Fine Foods did an amazing job!

Plus 1! The food was great. And it cannot be overstated: thanks to John and Jason for all their hard work in organising and running the event, and to Klem and Lisa (Venture Snowboards) for their support and excellent hardware.

Big thanks to John and Jason for organizing and to everybody for showing up and making it a success. It was great meeting you guys, and I look forward to seeing you again next year!

Highest Grade!

The splitfest rocked! No food photos, but fond memories of culinary excellence. It was a gathering that fed my soul with sweet lines and good company. Thanks for the everything!

Quick cross post alert. I updated our event page with a quick event summary. If you won something from the raffle, please let our sponsors know. Never hurts to post up on their facebook page how stoked you are! See you guys next year if not sooner!

Looks like a great time!

Props to the organizers and sponsors!

I'll be sure to donate a few splitboard.com shirts for next year. I see one in the group pic!
