A Winter Wonderland


The banner overhead displayed, “Welcome to the Ski and Board Festival” as I trotted up to the entrance point to the venue. The Ski and Board Festival is a three day event at Sacramento's Cal Expo facility hosting roughly 75 vendors and six sponsors this year. Most people attend the festival for the great deals on gear, what's new and to simply enjoy the atmosphere with a wide range of skiers and boarders. This was my first time experiencing the event and I was fortunate to attend the last day. The sights and sounds engulf you as you enter a valley of exhibitors playing their selected tracks to listen to on their favorite descent. It is not uncommon to see such displays at the event like a 20” indoor half-pipe show, tasty beer garden, a liquidation outlet of gear, and my favorite of go-go dancers in non-winter fatigue. The vibe is a positive one and impressive.

As you walk through the lobby, you will see the massive beer garden situated across from the half-pipe. The BMX and skateboard show was sensational as professional riders & boarders displayed their perfected techniques of backflips, 360 inverts, and effortless flatland tricks. It was an electric scene and the crowd motivated the pros to push their limits. Most people I met there were local, and even participated in our raffle to give away a 2012 Jeep Sahara and the showcasing of a new 2013 Crosstrek. I met two snowboarders from Oroville that told me this is the only event that they will attend all year at Cal Expo. Of course, many also come for the awesome lift passes & swag that are dished out like hot cakes. The exhibitors brought their best to show. There was even a company which made its skis and boards completely out of recycled bamboo which was unique. If you’re looking for some good entertainment, the Ski and Snowboard Festival is worth the trip.

The Ski and Snowboard Festival was one of the best events I’ve seen all year with a strong sense of passion, fun, and culture. All in all, you will meet and see a strong following that resonates through all ages. Good people, good deals, good beer, & great times. If you want an event to circle next year on your calendar, the Ski and Snowboard Festival is the one to not miss!

     We at Elk Grove Subaru are excited about getting the new 2013 Subaru Crosstrek into our Sacramento Subaru dealership! The 2013 Crosstrek will be powered by a 2.0 Liter boxer four engine and use Subaru's amazing AWD system. No problem getting to Reno or Tahoe of course! The ground clearance of 8.7 inches makes the crossover-hatchback delivers the spaciousness of the Forester with the handling and power of the Impreza. The Subaru gods hath given birth to this hybrid demigod for the American markets. The traction and handling in this vehicle almost innate to Subaru's infamous reputation of off-roading capabilities.

Moreover, the EPA has yet to test the Crosstrek, but Subaru's predictions are in the 25/33-26/34 ballpark. Equipment on the XV is abound, including; storage cubbies inside door panels, Bluetooth & iPod capabilities, 4.3 inch touch screen audio system, backup camera (standard to CVT), automatic climate control & 6-speaker sound system.

       All-Weather Package is expected to be standard for the XV Limited, and optional on Premium models. Such as heated front seats & mirrors, even a windshield wiper that is heated. Moonroof and navigation system will be available options for either package. Pricing for this demigod will be roughly expected to be in the 24-25k range.
