10 Reasons Why You Should Attend Blizzard 2024

Annual Blizzard Ski Kickoff EventAs the days grow shorter and temperatures cooler, winter sports enthusiasts anxiously await the start of the 2024-25 ski and ride season. And I can’t think of a better way to kick off the season than by attending Boston Ski and Sports Club’s (BSSC) annual Blizzard party at Royale on November 14th. Here’s why this year’s Blizzard promises to be the best one yet:

  1. Blizzard is sponsored by The Ski Monster

BSSC is partnering with The Ski Monster, one of the biggest online ski and snowboard retailers in North America. Headquartered in Boston, The Ski Monster will be celebrating its 10th anniversary at Blizzard by offering attendees “The Ski Monster Experience,” highlighting top gear and advice for the upcoming season from its expert staff. I purchased my current skis and boots from their retail store in downtown Boston back in 2016 and can’t recommend them enough!

  1. The first 1,000 people through the door receive free lift tickets

You heard right; the first 1,000 people to enter Blizzard this year receive free lift tickets to New England mountains. But that’s not all—the first 700 partygoers will get TWO free lift tickets. So be sure to line up outside Royale before doors open at 6 pm if you don’t want to miss this incredible offer!

  1. Free raffle entry for thousands of dollars worth of prizes

Throughout Blizzard, BSSC will be raffling off incredible prizes, including ski gear, free trips, lift tickets, and more. The best part? You don’t have to buy any raffle tickets! Register for the free raffle upon arrival, and you’ll be entered to win. You’ll want to stay until the end of the party to be present to win one of the three major prizes (totaling over $5,000 in value)!

  1. The Ski Monster is providing three big raffle prizes

Blizzard’s Grand Prize this year will be a “New Skis, Boots and Bindings Package” of your choosing from The Ski Monster. This highly customizable prize is a dream for any skier looking to outfit themselves in the best possible gear. Second prize is a $1500 gift card to The Ski Monster. Third prize will be a $500 The Ski Monster gift card.

  1. Exclusive discounts and deals on BSSC trips

BSSC will be providing unique discounts and deals on their upcoming ski & snowboard trips only available at Blizzard. If you’ve been debating going on one of BSSC’s awesome day, weekend, or vacation trips, now is the time to sign up! BSSC’s volunteer trip leaders will be attending Blizzard and can help answer questions you may have about these exciting offerings.

  1. BSSC is announcing its 2024-25 trip schedule

The BSSC 2024-25 ski & snowboard trip schedule will be announced at this year’s Blizzard party. You’ll be the first to know the BSSC lineup for day and weekend trips at New England’s premier ski resorts. In addition to these local trips, BSSC also offers incredible ski vacations around the world. This year’s schedule includes domestic trips to Schweitzer, ID, Palisades Tahoe, CA, and international trips to France, Italy, Switzerland, and Japan.

  1. Blizzard tickets are just $20 for a limited time

Tickets for Blizzard are only $20 each through October 25th. Be sure to secure your tickets here for you and your friends before prices increase by $10 on October 26th. Prices at the door are $35.

  1. Deals from local ski resorts and BSSC partners

Ski exhibitors, including major New England resorts, retailers, and BSSC partners, will offer deals to Blizzard attendees who stop by their booths. These exhibitors include Smuggler’s Notch, Sunday River, Killington, Loon, and more.

  1. Free swag from The Ski Monster and partner coupons

To celebrate their 10th anniversary in business, The Ski Monster will be giving away free swag all night long. Coupons from BSSC partners, BSSC swag, and more will be found inside the lift ticket gift bags provided to the first 1,000 Blizzard entrants.

  1. Shot ski cocktails, cash bar & DJ

Even if skiing or riding isn’t your thing, you can still have fun at Blizzard. Royale will craft shot ski cocktails at their cash bar, and DJ Action Jackson blasting fire tunes to keep the party going.
