In its first two years, the Colorado-based SnowBall Music Festival
established a reputation as one of America's most unique and exciting
events. A music festival and ski/snowboard weekend rolled into one,
SnowBall is the ultimate winter getaway for music fans, tastemakers and
adventure-seekers, who'll converge on the majestic mountain paradise of Winter Park, Colorado on March 8-10, 2013 to absorb SnowBall's visionary marriage of music and mountains.
With
two sold-out years under its belt, this year SnowBall boasts its most
eclectic and impressive musical lineup yet, with eagerly anticipated
performances by over 50 acts. For three days, SnowBall's new location of
Winter Park, Colorado will come alive with approximately 65 acts
performing on four stages, encompassing a diverse assortment of
cutting-edge artists spanning the full range of contemporary music, from
electronic and dance to indie and alternative. The combination of the
world's most creative musicians and the world's greatest snow conditions
makes SnowBall the ultimate winter adventure for the music enthusiast
and winter sports fan alike.
In addition to three great days of
music, those attending the festival will have an opportunity to hit the
slopes at Winter Park Resort - dubbed "Colorado's Favorite”™ for the
natural majesty of its setting, its laid-back resort atmosphere and its
stellar skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. Winter Park Resort, which
includes Mary Jane Mountain, averages over 321 inches of snow each year
and features over 3000-acres of skiable terrain to enjoy. SnowBall 2013
attendees will also have access to a special discounted ski lift
ticket, courtesy of Winter Park Resort, packaged with their event ticket
and lodging. The
move to Winter Park isn't the only exciting new change in store for
this year's SnowBall. "Being on private land and having a partner like
Winter Park makes all the difference in the world," Donnelly states,
adding, "This new location really enables us the opportunity to take all
aspects of the festival to the next level.”
SnowBall 2013
promises innovative integration of creative design throughout the
festival experience - from custom three dimensional film installations,
fireworks displays, action sports elements and everything in between.
Also this year, SnowBall introduces a heated acoustic coffee house
lounge to feature intimate and unplugged performances by rising stars
and main stage artists alike. After the festival, crowds spill out into
the streets for the event’s ever-expanding late night scene, offering
big after-hours shows in the town’s many small clubs.
