Come on out tomorrow for the Aaron Blunck Big Bag Invitational at Crested Butte Mountain Resort’s new BagJump. Tomorrow’s event marks the first time the 50 x 50 x 11 Bagjump will be used for skiers and snowboarders. Aaron will be joined by Dave Sugnet and members of the Mountain Sports Team learning new tricks in the forgiving airbag landing. After the exhibition, hot chocolate and cookies will be served on the deck of Butte 66, where Aaron will be signing posters for donations.

Funds raised at the event will go to cover the costs of training, competition fees, food, lodging, and transportation for Aaron in his pursuit of representing the USA at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Aaron will be on the road a lot this winter in a schedule that includes trips to Whistler, Russia, France, and Italy. Aaron is off to a hot start after getting 3rd in the first North Face Park and Pipe Series event in December at Copper Mountain.
