2015 was the 3rd year for the Winter Park Wipeout event. The Winter Park Rotary Club and the Denver…read moreOyster race people put this event on. I've never had more fun wearing costumes through the town of Winter Park doing crazy little challenges. I ate a syrup pancake without hands and had syrup all over my face, we played pictionary on the Library's window, played Pin the Antlers on the Moose, learned a dance routine, attempted to blow a bubble like a kid again, and jumped into a foam pit. The Zorbs looked fun but the line was too long. This year they included 2 hours of tubing at the Colorado Adventure Park in the ticket and they had a dj, bonfire and the Great Divide brewery there. It was a fun day and a chance to do something different in Winter Park and I had never been to the Colorado Adventure Park- the tubing was really fun.

So I've been attending for the past three years. This year I brought with me someone who's never…read morebeen. He's the barometer of my decision to go back next year or not. Truly I was bored this year. Last year was much better. In saying this it's not because of the lack of big-name sponsors but it's just the overall feel. We were here just this past Saturday. Everythings the same almost. The free Wendys long line, the very organized bus pick up and drop off. Of which company was impressed too. We watched a few competition namely whatever the games scheduled that day. Wendy's Snow BikeCross Elimination ( watched this). I wanted to support the athletes but dear God. I was bored to death and even company wanted to leave after and the whole time was saying he's lost and confused. Lol. After a few photos we left. Total stay about half hour to 45 minutes. Mostly looking for waters to buy. But this time there was a great addition. A water station. And it's free! Like everything else except the concert. Security is still tight as ever. This time no smokes of any kind at all! Yup if you put it in your mouth and it produces smoke and it's got nicotine or THC you're out of luck. So, why four stars? The athletes dude. They rock. The location. It's free of which there's very few things are now. Bring your kids. Come see the Whole set up for yourself. It's something to do and appreciate in life.

Went to my first X Games this year, and had a blast! I wasn't planning to hit the slopes, but still…read morehad quite an enjoyable time. The food and drink is pricy, but that's to be expected with an event of this magnitude. The snow was SO powdery this year, and the weather so nice. Can't wait to come back!
