Nov. 10th Get Stoked Winter Film Series

Warren Station amps up for the winter season with the Get Stoked Winter Film Series! One of the top, action sports production companies, Matchstick Productions, will blow your mind with reels of jaw-dropping feats in the Summit County Premiere of “Hoji.” Better yet, every purchased ticket comes with a complimentary raffle ticket. We will be raffling off tons of great gear after the showing! Watch the trailer here !

Get stoked for another season with swag giveaways, raffle tickets, and bar specials at Warren Station. Proceeds will benefit Team Breck Sports Club and Team Summit so your money will be going towards a great cause.

“Hoji”- Matchstick Productions – Eric Hjorleifson lets his skiing speak for itself. He doesn’t stand on the bar and shout out his accolades. He skis for brands that give him 100% creative control over the equipment that he designs and uses. He chases storms. He ditches his cell phone for weeks at a time. His exploits are rarely flaunted on social media. In spite of all of this – or maybe because of it – he is a hero to legions of skiers across the globe. This is who Eric is – this is “HOJI.”

Purchase tickets here . Use the discount code: "TEAM SUMMIT"

Two Film Showings:

1st - Doors open at 5:30pm with movie at 6:00pm

IMPACT Testing at Family Orientation

What is ImPACT Testing?

ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing ) is a neurocognitive assessment administered online in a controlled environment. ImPACT has two components: baseline testing and post-injury testing which are used in conjunction to determine if a patient can safely return to an activity.

At orientation on Nov. 17th, you have the opportunity to have your athlete's BASELINE TESTING completed, so they are prepared if they sustain a concussion in the upcoming season. If your athlete has already completed this testing this year through another sport, school, etc. there is no need to do it again. It is recommended that athletes complete Baseline Testing once every 2 years.

Who should do ImPACT Testing?

Better safe than sorry, we cannot predict when an athlete will sustain a concussion. Without a baseline, or testing at a normal state, it will be much harder to accurately treat a concussion after it occurs. Athletes 12 and older should complete Baseline Testing, so they have the correct information to evaluate the athlete in the event of a concussion. If the athlete is under 12, they must make an appointment for this testing at Avalanche Physical Therapy. The test is more in depth, must be completed one on one, and costs $75 for athletes under 12. Avalanche Physical Therapy 970.668.0888.

Other Requirements?

Testing is for athletes 12 and older only and is done in 45 minute blocks. Athletes need to bring their own lap top and Chrome/Fire Fox is the best to run it on . Cost is $15 per baseline test/check (made out to Avalanche PT) or cash.

Donate Wine for the 2018 Ski Ball Wine Pull

It's that time of year to start thinking about ski team, orientation and yes Ski Ball! Last year, we held a "Wine Pull" that was a huge success for Team Summit. Due it's popularity, we will be holding the Wine Pull again this year.

We will be accepting wine donations at Orientation this November 17th. We ask that wine has a minimum value of $20 per bottle. When you donate your bottle of wine we will give you a raffle ticket that we will draw at both the morning and afternoon sessions for some great Team Summit "Swag".

At the Ski Ball we will be selling corks for $25 which will match up with the corresponding bottle of wine. We had some great donations last year, some valued at $100.

Thanks and looking forward to another exciting ski season.
