The first ever Spring Weekend Meltdown in Snowmass is a chance to ease the transition from snowboards to pools and flip-flops. The three-day event combines the Snowmass Chili and Brew Fest with acrobats, DJs, dancers, models and an end-of-the-weekend Recovery Pool Party. "The Chili and Brew Fest has been going on for years at Snowmass," promoter Kevin Larson says. "We just added the After Dark Party and Pool Party to keep the weekend going."
