30 Foot Setup, 20 Truckloads of Snow, Pro Snowboarders, Fuel TV and Snowboarding on High Street. What could be better?

Time and Place

Date:
Saturday, November 1, 2008
Time:
5:00pm - 10:00pm
Location:
Pathfinder of West Virginia
Street:
235 High Street
City/Town:
Morgantown, WV

Ok...
So last year we had a budget of $1,000, a feature on the ground, one dj, no pros, and a small Courthouse Square to work with. 1,000 people came, prizes were won, movie nights were held, and hundreds of people were stoked. So promises were made that if I did another one it would be the best event on the East Coast, if not the Country for rail jam festivals. So that brings us to this year. So far we have solidified an entire block of High Street (I m talking Walnut to Pleasant), two or three of the worlds top pros, a thirty foot stairset brought to you by Snowpark Technologies, and more coverage than you could believe. There will be snow, and lots of it, and 5 to 10 thousand people all in your favorite party city! So this will be an event to remember, rival the west, bigger than anything ever done anywhere on the east coast. FuelTV will be here to maybe make a show of it, dueling DJs and more lights, music and fun than your brain can handle. Also there will be a huge National Movie Premier for Mack Dawg's Double Decade and Grenade's The Boned Age on Halloween! Check our website in the future for further updates on the Huge After Party on Halloween! Ok so let me know if you have any questions and I expect to see you all there!

Thanks
Andrew

It's invite only - I think you need to know a sponsor or the event organizer.

yeah it's true.  If you know someone down there that is riding in it or is friends with andrew(the event organizer) you can probably get in.  So call your nice buddies from the snowboard club down at WVU and they will help you get in.  However not sure how late it is to register.  I'm sure people are a little busy which is why they can't get a hold of your calls. 

Keep trying.  It might be invite only, but that's because it's a pretty legit contest, they have a lot of great sponsers come out and had a SICK DJ last year and it got the whole town hyphy.  great atmosphere, great town, and you get to party at WVU afterwards! LOLZZ ON HALLOWEEN WEEKEND EVEN BETTERRRR

Everything exceeded my expectations.  On top of that. Morgantown has to have the largest party scene I have ever seen.

Over all the trip was alot of fun and more than worth the hike. I agree with matt 100% everyone slayed, evan the snow boarders threw kraze. The step up was abit short and fast but it was all good it was alot of fun and had a super huge crowd. Personallly I think I could have done alot better but oh well. HAHA also I have never seen that many hot girls in my life.

Props and Thanks to every that came, wachted, and escially for those who put the event on.
