Stop 6: Wild Corn Backcountry Shindig, King Pine, Masidison, NH!
Saturday, April 5
For our final stop Basecamp stop we’re headed to King Pine Ski Area in Madison, NH for the Wild Corn Backcountry Shindig, happening this Saturday, April 5. Wild Corn has something for everyone, whether you’re new to uphill touring or a seasoned backcountry enthusiast. This is a total mountain takeover where ALL the lifts are shut down creating a backcountry ski resort for your enjoyment. If you don’t have uphill gear, there are tons of demos on site for you to try, from boots to skis to split boards. Join us for endless uphill laps, live music, contests, giveaways, dance parties, great food and drinks, and more.

How does one register for a Basecamp?
No need to register. It’s free for all.
Thanks!
Asking about the Alta backcountry tours at the Basecamp event. Do you need your own Abby beacon, shovel, etc.? I’ll be at Alta on Mar 9 as it happens, but only with skis, boots, and skins. Sounds like a great event!
Do we need a powder mountain lift ticket to join the backcountry tour or is it all outside the resort and lift access?
