Join Union Bank and Smugglers’ Notch Resort for the 16th Annual Backcountry Magazine BARN BASH at the Cambridge Community Center on Friday, November 7. Grab your mountain buddies for great ski films including “Big Mountain Soul: Ski Africa.” A team of fearless Black skiers travel to the mountains of Africa where they reconnect with their roots and ski some of the most wild and beautiful mountains on earth. Plus “The Best Skier You’ve Never Heard Of,” starring Adrien Grabinski, the caretaker of small, community-run Shames Mountain, in B.C., and, like the title suggests, potentially the best skier you’ve never heard of. 

Enjoy great live music; the legendary Backcountry Magazine raffle, food from Spicy Spoke and beverages from The Alchemist, von Trapp Brewing, Lot Six Brewing Co, Cold Hollow Hard Cider and Stella 14 Wines.

All proceeds benefit the Cambridge Area Rotary Winter Wellness Days program which gives local kids the chance to ski and ride for free, regardless of income. For many of these groms, their five full days at Smuggs (and not at school) are their first introduction to snow sports.
