Time: 9:00 p.m. 
Location: Snow Barn
 
Join us at the Snow Barn after the 10th Annual Winter Brewers Festival for an official post party with Hayley Jane & the Primates.

Hayley Jane & The Primates combine Americana, soul and rock & roll with rich lyrical imagery that electrifies the heart. At the helm is rising star, Hayley Jane. She leads the band through an infectious live experience filled with powerful vocal range, vibrant dance choreography and dramatic performance that captivates her devoted fanbase.

Hailing from Boston MA, the band was the winner of the 2014 New England Music Awards' Roots/Americana Act Of The Year and has been performing at premiere venues and festivals across the country. Hayley Jane has also established herself as a strong female presence in the national music scene and was recently featured in the RELIX "Women Who Rock" Issue.

The band's first full-length album, Gasoline, was engineered by Brian Wallace of Sublime and released in 2014. The album was recorded during a West Coast Tour that kicked off at the iconic Whisky a Go Go and ended with a Monday Night Football performance at Qualcomm Stadium.

Hayley Jane and the Primates are releasing their sophomore album "We're Here Now" in the Fall of 2017. Produced by Craig Brodhead of Turkuaz, the album carries an energy and poetry that represents the best of American music.

21+, doors open at 8pm, show starts around 9pm

Tickets are available online until 11:59 p.m. on March 30 for $12, and will be $15 at the door if still available.

Golden Egg Hunt  
Sunday April 1st, 2018 
Location: ?????????????????

Join us for our Annual Golden Egg Hunt. If you find the Golden Egg, you win a 2018-19 Peak Pass. All ages can search for the Golden Egg. If you find the search difficult, no worries, clues will be given every hour.

In addition, children are encouraged to search for over 2,000 colored eggs hidden on the mountain. Adults, please leave the colored eggs for children to find. We ask that you leave bags home and only fill your pockets. This will allow more children to participate in the hunt.

Here's a clue to get you started! 

You will  NOT find the Golden Egg in the following places:

·         On a closed trail
·         On a black diamond trail
·         In a terrain park

·         You will not have to climb to reach the egg

One more hint - if getting there looks unsafe be assured the Golden Egg is  not  there.

Clues start at 10 am and can be found on Mount Snow's Twitter & Facebook pages and at the Guest Service Desk in the Clocktower building.

Sunday April 1st, 2018
Location: Ripcord

The Glade-iator competition is a mogul skiing contest on the soft bumps of the legendary Ripcord, one of the steepest trails in the east! Competitors will show off their bump and jump skills and will be judged on a combination of time, form, line, and aerial maneuvers off one of our two jumps (option of small or large). This is also one of the best spectator events of the year, complete with sun, snow and a cash BBQ & Bud Light bar. Ripcord will be closed to the public, so the best way to get there is to take River Run from the top of the Canyon Express lift.

MinusZeroFestival
Minus Zero Festival
Friday April 6th - Sunday April 8th
Winter sport and music festival MINUS ZERO is coming to Mount Snow in 2018 for its biggest event yet. For its FOURTH edition, the festival has announced dates of April 7th & 8th, and will also feature opening festivities and kick off parties starting on the evening of Friday, April 6th. Look for the line-up to be announced in the coming weeks.

Last year, a sold-out crowd of thousands hit the slopes and partied at MINUS ZERO, which featured over three stages of music featuring over 50 top international and emerging electronic music acts including Bassnectar, Zeds Dead, GRiZ, Illenium and Claptone, snowboarding with a Rail Jam & Jump competition and a demo from some of the top pro-boarders including Carinthia Team athletes Nate Haust and Jeremy Ellenberg.

"With a beautiful backdrop amid the mountains and a stunning roster, it is no wonder that the festival attracted thousands of fans in its first year," declared DJ Mag of MINUS ZERO's inaugural event in 2016 with headliners deadmau5 and Kaskade. With three stages of music and slopes open, the picturesque backdrop of the Vermont mountains provides a stunning and unique setting which can only be experienced at MINUS ZERO.

For all the information about this event, please visit Minus Zero's website
