Whether you come with your family, a group of your closest friends, or on a solo adventure to make some new acquaintances and memories, Mountainfest has something for everyone to enjoy. Grab your coat, lace up your boots, and join us as we spend the weekend jamming out, laughing, and playing in the snow!

What to Expect at Mountainfest

From the moment you arrive at Montage Mountain Resorts, you’ll immediately feel the energy buzzing all around you. Mountainfest is the weekend everyone looks forward to all year! Just outside the lodge and rental areas is where you’ll find the incredible Mountainfest music lineups jamming away all weekend long. You can head to the area near the parking lot known as Midland, where you can decompress with some delicious specialty sandwiches from the Sammie Shed while warming up by the fire and listening to the live acts playing on the stage here.

One of the biggest highlights of Mountainfest is without a doubt Preston & Steve’s Cardboard Classic, where participants race down the snowy slopes in homemade sleds, fashioned only out of cardboard, glue, tape, and string! The Cardboard Classic, hosted by Preston & Steve from WMMR 93.3, is definitely an entertaining way to kick off the weekend and will likely spark some inspiration within! Going into the weekend as prepared as can be also ensures you’ll have the best time possible. Buy your tickets ahead of time to avoid complications, dress in layers for the mountain weather, and don’t forget to bring sunscreen! If you decide to come a few days before the fest or extend your visit after it ends, Montage Mountain Resorts has it all – 26 trails to shred, one of the longest snow tubing areas in the state, and an awesome bar and restaurant where you can defrost and unwind.
