Fat Flake Festival

"We are calling out the snow gods and welcoming winter back to the Wasatch" says Jessica Kunzer, spokeswoman for Ski Utah. The Fat Flake Festival is scheduled to kick off this Saturday, November 15 at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Just one of the highlights of Salt Lake City's Fat Flake Festival is a race around the Gallivan Center in snow boots. (Do we know how to party or what?) Winners of the race will receive a new pair of ski boots! A vintage ski clothing contest promises to be a real hoot. There will be prizes of skis, winter clothing, and snowboards. There will be autograph sessions with famous Utah skiers and snowboarders. Live music will include a variety of bands including Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Cavedoll and Junior Giant. Come out to the Fat Flake Festival and help us summon up "The Greatest Snow on Earth"! Gallivan Center-Salt Lake City Plaza - 200 south between State and Main.
