Located
at the historic Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion, the festival
will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 6 and 13, and from 11 a.m. to 6
p.m. on Nov. 7 and 14. The wine tastings from 1 to 5 p.m. on both Saturdays,
with the beer tastings from noon to 5 p.m. on both Sundays.
Lombardi
Sports and Any Mountain will showcase more than $1 million in ski and snowboard
gear to all event attendees, with deals of up to 70 percent off skis, boards
and more.
“Our festivals are revolutionizing the consumer ski show industry,”
says Jim McAlpine, president of SnowBomb.com and promoter of the event.
“These events are unlike any other out there.”
With
festivities for adults, as well as kids, the event has something to offer
for all ages. Last year, the Oktoberfest-like atmosphere on Sunday was
contagious. The roars of “prost” would roll through the pavilion
turning the entire floor in to one massive party. Pro BMX riders will demonstrate
their skills throughout the day on an indoor half-pipe inside the venue.
Exhibitions will take place each day at various times. Also this year,
all-female Led Zeppelin cover band Zepparella will perform during the Brew
Expo on Nov. 14. As well, look for autograph sessions to top pros and Olympic
athletes including Jonny Moseley and Daron Rahlves.
As well,
look for great deals at industry exhibitors including Atomic/Orage, Salomon
Skis and Snowboards, Lange, K2 Snowboards and Skis, High Fives, Burton,
Smith, Rossignol, Volkl, Superfeet and many others. Entertainment and travel
exhibits range from Ice Axe Expeditions and Pacific Crest Snowcats to Points
North Heli Adventures, RK Heli Ski and Subaru.
The event
is believed to sell out again this year, but attendees can get tickets
online at www.sfskifest.com.
General Admission tickets are $20 per day, and the $40 ticket includes
beer/wine tasting, commemorative glassware, a one-year subscription to
either Ski or TransWorld Snowboarding Magazine, a free meal from Wahoos
