Jan 19th - Ski Sundown, CT / Colorado Ski Shop, MA

Jan 25th - Toggenburg, NY / Ski Company, NY

I'm also starting a RallyMe (like Kickstarter) to help fund the tour. More information can be found on my RallyMe page. Donations range from a Facebook shout-out to a brand new pair of Line skis.

Seems like a 1-hour car ride eastward to Killington should be worth it this year.

I don't get why whenever people come to Vermont to ski they hit up the southern mega-resorts.
I wish you guys would come to sugarbush on this thing.
that is where in my opinion the heart of VT park skiing is.

also the park guys kill it there and I would love to see what the TC crew could do on the set up.

They came to Bush last year Mease, but they came in December so it was only the hike park by the condos. Riemergasse would be ridiculous.

I know Seven Springs sucked last year but it was sick that you guys came out to PA! Thanks for your generosity and support that you brought to the east coast last year, definitely going to donate!

Now I may be wrong but wasn't one of the stops last year Granite Peak, Wisconsin? If not it would be awesome if you came out there... not just because I live in the area..

Even though I don't live in the US, let alone the East Coast, I'd still rather donate to this rather than Margetts and all the others looking for money just to compete in the (L)olypmics.


From what Andy described in the OP, it look like this year's TAFT is going to be even more successful!

Have a blast!!

Didn't Inspired already do something like this?.. You should bring as much swag/yoke as possible and sell it for double. Then you go to your next spot and charge more the further you have to go, kids will understand, right?
