Total Eclipse of the Heart

A three-day backcountry bender & mountain takeover is just want you need to put this winter season to bed & welcome the best of all seasons - Corn Season! Wild Corn Shindig kicks off at King Pine Ski Area in Madison, NH on April 5 - 7, 2024. In its 8th year, the event draws over 1,000 attendees to support GRANITELAND, our 17-site below treeline network of glades. With a “total eclipse” coming Monday, April 8 - this is the most epic celestial pre-game in the solar system! Shoot for the stars and plan your weekend starting now!

WILD CORN SHINDIG - A SPACEBALL ODYSSEY

The 8th Annual Wild Corn Shindig is ON at King Pine Ski Area April 5-7! May the Schwartz Be With You…

Once Upon a Time Warp, we went to the Dark Side of the Corn in 2023, expanding Wild Corn to back-to-back Friday and Saturday programming with fire dancers, booter contests, light saber parades, and headliner Pink Talking Fish. This year, we’re celebrating the coming Solar Eclipse (which will be Monday, April 8) with a Spaceballs-themed Shindig. We know a great vibe when we feel it, so we’re absolutely thrilled to have PTF back again for two performances Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6.

Wild Corn has something for everyone, whether you’re new to uphill touring or a seasoned backcountry enthusiast. This is a total mountain takeover where ALL the lifts are shut down creating a backcountry ski resort for your enjoyment. If you don’t have uphill gear, there are tons of demos on site for you to try, from boots to skis to split boards. The Shindig has it all - endless uphill laps, live music, educational workshops, contests, giveaways, dance parties, night skiing, great food and drinks, car camping and more. We love to bring the uphill community together to harvest our favorite crop - springtime corn!!
