The annual Brewvies fundraiser was an amazing success and has grown into a standing room only event. Huge thanks to Dan Gardiner, Phatty, Rick Barker, Ryan Nelson, Aaron Case, Matt Entz, Stephen Darcy and Nick Reddy… y’all rock. And man, you guys (and gals) can ride! The amount of talent in this posse is crazy and if you haven’t seen Boondockers 9 you’re missing out on some amazing sled stoke.

Much of the success at this yearly event is a tribute to the all the awesome support we get from our very generous sponsors. First off, the Utah Snowmobile Association kindly foots the bill for food, feeding nearly 150 people. This very generous gesture allows us to keep the entry price affordable and draw in the record crowds we’re seeing. But it’s not just the USA alone stepping up to the plate, there’s a whole host of sponsors getting involved. Many thanks go out to Tri City Performance,SnowBigDeal, Klim, 2 Cool Air Vents, HMK, Sly Dog Skis, Three Bear Lodge, Toy Skinz Wraps, Back Country Rebels, WRP, EK Tek, Sled Solutions and KBER Radio. All these great partners donated an amazing amount of high quality door and raffle prizes and nearly everyone went out the door with something in their hands. In addition, big thanks to Dave Napier for his very generous cash donation.

In all, we raised just over $5,800 and all that money goes right back into the sled community. This year we will continue to upgrade and expand the Are You Beeping signage and beacon checker program. Look for these at your favorite trailhead. If you don’t have one near you let me know and we’ll get working on it. In addition, we will continue offering our free basic avy education presentations and more advanced classes for those of you who wanna geek out a little more with snow. Right now we are in the planning stages for another Avy Essentials class slated for sometime in January. Also, look for continued sled specific avalanche forecasting in the western Uinta’s, Logan, and on the Manti-Skyline.

Thanks to everyone who attended Thursday night’s gig and thanks for allowing us to be part of this incredible community!
