TRUCKEE, Calif. - Jan. 12, 2012 -Northstar
California Resort is calling all s'mores enthusiasts to
participate in S'moresapalooza in the Village at
Northstar this weekend. An event first at Northstar,
S'moresapalooza will feature a s'mores eating
contest, s'mores stacking contest - to see who can build
the largest s'mores stack - and a mass s'mores roast
around the fire pits in the Village at Northstar. Resort
guests are invited to participate in the festivities,
scheduled to take place in the afternoon on Sunday, January
15.
"Our guests continue to tell us that they're
enjoying being here thanks to the amount of terrain we have
open on the mountain, as well as the variety of activities
available for them to enjoy in the Village at
Northstar," said Bill Rock, chief operating officer at
Northstar. "We thought it could be fun to take advantage
of the fire pits that surround the skating rink in the
Village at Northstar and the s'mores tradition that's
been developed at Northstar. With the activities we have
planned, we have to warn you - this is going to be fun to
watch, and it will get messy!"
Sunday's S'moresapalooza activities include:
S'mores Eating Contest
3:30 p.m. on the Village Stage
The festivities will kick off with a s'mores eating
contest. Featuring the "6,310' S'mores"
from TC's Pub in the Village at Northstar, contestants
will be timed on the quantity of s'mores they're able
to consume. Dubbed the "nachos of s'mores," the
6,310' S'mores contain piles of grahams,
marshmallows, chocolate, all melted, with dollops of ice
cream on top. Three rounds of contestants featuring different
age groups will have two minutes each to consume as much as
they can before a winner is named.
S'mores Stacking Contest
3:45 p.m. on the Village Stage
Those who think they have stacking skills are invited to test
their abilities in the s'mores stacking contest. The
largest tower of s'mores created in three minutes will
take the prize, with contestant teams of two required to
stack in order - graham, chocolate, marshmallow, graham, and
so on - until time runs out!
Village S'mores Roast

All guests in the Village at Northstar Sunday afternoon will
