This year we got permission to drive on the lower part of the hill so we will be dumping extra loads of snow down there for the landings.  = Less mud!

^  The $20 covers the cost of the shirt and all the proceeds there after go to the town's Park and Rec Dept.  If it wasn't their good graces and presence, this event would have never existed.

Not being able to drive on the field last year made it very difficult to have a good landing base. The only snow we could get on the landing was what we could throw there, versus normally our landings are an entire truck load of snow spread out (usually about 6 inches deep)...it's very difficult to move the amount of snow it would take to have a 6in deep landing over the length of 5 features by hand (it also didn't help that it was like 80 degrees out...snow melts fast at that heat). This year, since we can drive on the field, ideally, each rail should have their own pile of snow for the landings, and hopefully it'll be cooler out...that'd help a ton.

Just got word from a good shop friend that he's hooking it up with carpet for the landing zone.  That will be an extra layer of mud-protection under the snow.

The waiver link is at the bottom of the product description.  Click "Event Sign Ups" under the shipping method.

Age categories are broken down on the registration section.  We're giving away lots of product swag from supporting companies all day and at the end of the event we will announce who we and the judges thought were the most deserving of the gift card prizes. 

Dont forget to register before closing time Friday night!

Try 370 Morton St. West Springfield, Ma. If that doesn't work, here's the coordinates: 42.116997,-72.64548



Side note, Jarrod and I just put 5 features on a trailer today for this event tomorrow, and Jordan's been driving around getting snow since around 2pm today. Get stoked!
