On the FINAL Snocial event of the season, join the producers behind some of the most innovative social travel events in the Bay and the promoters of some of the most popular parties in the Bay invites you to join 50+ Bay Area Young Professional on our popular 1-day ski/boarding trip to Alpine Meadows!!
Christened "SNOCIAL" by the event organizers, our 1 day romp in powder begins with an early morning pick-up at both the Sports Basement in Sunnyvale and at the Tanforan Shopping Center in San Bruno, and segways into a bonding 4hr hour bus-ride to one of Tahoe' most technical mounts where we'll spend the day tearing up the slopes (from bunnies all the way onto black) with old faces and new friends.
Then, at 3pm, we'll meet up at the Last Chair bar, a hot spot for skiiers, for drink. The first round is on us! With a little color in our cheeks (and a bit of snow melting in our pants), we'll hop on our luxury charter back to the bay, all while sharing stories, pictures, and drinks ;)
Be apart of SNOCIAL - where snow sports and being social collide.
