Snoball 2012 Recap & Pictures

What an amazing event! About 200 people came through the door, the place was packed (not too much, just the right amount), drinks and food was plentiful, the photo booth was a hit (see the hilarious photos below), and best of all we raised $1,015 for SOS Outreach to continue their mission of helping kids gain leadership skills and confidence through outdoor programs around Colorado, the nation, and internationally.

A big thanks to our partners for the event...

Clif Bar
Hestra Gloves
Backcountry Acesss
The Mountain Collective Pass

We gave away tons of Clif products, three pairs of Hestra Gloves, a full setup from Backcountry Access (beacon, shovel, probe, and pack), and a Mountain Collective Pass which will allow the winner to ski two free days each at Aspen, Alta, Jackson Hole, and Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows.

Perhaps most remarkably, the winner of the Backcountry Access prize was so overjoyed at winning and thrilled to support SOS Outreach than he donated the extra money we needed at the end of the night to cross the $1,000 threshold. Awesome, and thank you!

Here is a sample picture from the photobooth, and here are the other 100+ images...go tag yourself! See all the pictures
