If you’re in college and in the LA area, definitely add this to your winter To Do list… Today, Mt. High announced its new program College Night at Mountain High.  College Night is a series of three Thursday night parties where college students can come get half-off beer, half-off appetizers, dollar hot dogs, and $20 lift tickets with a valid student ID.  There will be live DJs and tons of free stuff, including passes to live tapings of Fuel TV’s The Daily Habit, T-shirts, and gear from the event sponsors.  Events will take place 5 – 10pm at the Bullwheel Bar and Grill at Mt. High West January 15, February 12 and March 12.  I’ve never been to Mt. High so I can’t attest to the quality of the riding quite yet (I’ve heard mixed reviews, though being the closest mountain to LA it is definitely the most convienent) but this event does sound like a good time; makes me wish I was still in college!

Also, random side note, Mt. High has a pretty neat podcast; check it out (open up iTunes and search for “mountain high resort;” it should come up).  If you like, you can subscribe via iTunes and have new episodes sent straight to your podcast folder as soon as they are released.  One thing I love about this mountain is their focus on digital and social tools to engage riders.  Wonder if they’ll live stream College Night?

Danielle and I plan to publish an events calendar to Westbound Boarder soon, highlighting events at all resorts on the West Coast, so stay tuned for that.
