Fall Flannel Fest

Fall Flannel Fest is our annual fundraising event where we encourage you to throw on your best flannel and come celebrate Whaleback Mountain! We rely on the support of our community to sustain our mission of providing affordable and accessible snow sports for all. We celebrate every year with live music, delicious samplings of our catering menu, a silent auction, giveaways, and crisp Whaleback Mountain Ale on the back deck at the base of the mountain!

Past Years:

Flannel Fest 2023 a huge success and even bigger than the year’s before! This year was special because we celebrated 10 years of being a non-profit. That is 10 years of giving the gift of affordable, accessible skiing and snowboarding, and we could not have gotten this far without the support of our community. This year we had over 100 people in attendance, raised just shy of $30,000, and celebrated a decade of giving back to our community. We would like to give a special thank you to our outgoing board chair, Norm Berman for his 9 years of board service(4 years as the chair) and a big warm welcome to our new board chair, Daniella Reichstetter. We would also like to thank and honor our founding board member, John Schiffman who is the reason we are all here today. John has served on the board since its inception in 2013 and we owe a ton of our success to him. Last but not least, a huge thank you to our title sponsors: The Jack & Dorothy Bryne Foundation, Whaleback Properties Holding Trust, all of the attendees, our community, our photographer Kata Sasvari, and all of our silent auction sponsors.

Our 2022 annual Fall Flannel Fest was the biggest one yet and we owe it all to our community! A huge thank you to the Jack & Dorothy Bryne Foundation for being the title sponsor of this event. We saw more attendees than ever before, had the biggest silent auction we have ever had, and raised over $25,000! A huge thank you to our attendees, sponsors, and community for making this event better than ever.

Our 2021 first annual Fall Flannel Fest was a huge success! Thank you to all of our business sponsors and community members who attended. With your help, we raised over $10,000!
None of this would be possible without your support and we are so grateful for our community.
