🎿 Subaru WinterFest: Music, Gear & Mountain Vibes at Eldora!
If fresh powder, live music, and free snacks sound like your kind of weekend, Subaru WinterFest is where you need to be. From March 7-9, Eldora is turning into a winter playground with gear demos, giveaways, and live performances—all with a side of cozy bonfires and hot cocoa.
🎶 Live Tunes on the Mountain WinterFest is bringing Americana, bluegrass, and indie jams to the slopes. Here’s who’s playing: 🎵 Friday: iZCALLi (2:30 – 4:00 PM) 🎵 Saturday: The Sweet Lillies (12:30 – 2:00 PM) & Shadowgrass (2:30 – 4:00 PM) 🎵 Sunday: Drunken Hearts (1:00 – 2:30 PM) | 🏔️ What Else is Happening? ❄️ Gear demos—test out skis, snowboards & winter gear from big-name brands. 🐶 Meet the Avalanche Rescue Dogs (because they’re adorable AND heroes). 🔥 Bonfire vibes—roast s’mores over Solo Stove fires. 🎁 Win cool stuff—like outdoor gear & a Thule cargo box. 🚺 Saturday’s a big one—SheJumps is hosting Get the Girls Out for International Women’s Day. |
🚙 Bonus if You Drive a Subaru
Carpooling with 3+ people in a Subaru? You get free VIP parking. Subaru owners also get special giveaways (while supplies last), so if you drive one, now’s your time to shine.
Bottom line? It’s a weekend of good snow, good music, and good vibes. Whether you’re in it for the skiing, the snacks, or the dogs, WinterFest is a guaranteed good time.
