The calendar says it’s late December, but winter really hasn’t started yet. With nary a snowflake in the sky or on the ground in Utah, powder-starved skiers need something to do. We might as well wax our skis and party with friends while waiting. Talking Mountain Yurts has the right idea with their Winter Kickoff and Ski Wax Party.
Winter Kickoff and Ski Wax Party
If you’re a La Sal Mountain skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, snowshoers, road lappers or winter fun haver, join Talking Mountain Yurts in supporting the organization that keeps us all safe up there, the Utah Avalanche Center.
The Kickoff Winter and Ski Wax Party will have tons of great prizes to raffle off with all proceeds going to the UAC. Organizers will also be serving up soup, chili, and “Chowder for Powder!” A $5 suggested donation going to Luna Moab to help keep the corduroy on the pass road looking sharp.
As for the ski waxing, Moab Gear Trader is providing all the supplies needed to tune up and wax your skis. So bring your sticks and put on a fresh hot wax, because one of these days it will snow.
In addition, there will be music, hot drinks, a toasty fire and s’more to heat up the winter stoke. All ages and all winter lovers are welcome. Admission is free and tickets will be sold on site.
And of course, snow dances are encouraged because we need all the help we can get.
The Talking Mountain Yurts Winter Kickoff and Ski Wax Party happens on Saturday, December 16th from 4:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. at Moab Side X Side Adventures, 854 S Main St. in Moab.
