TAP-NY and TAP-Boston teamed up for the 2nd annual TAP Ski and Snowboard Extravaganza in March! We tackled an all-new mountain in Okemo, and shredded slopes in short sleeves despite unseasonably warm conditions.image11

We made quick work of 15 pizza pies in the cabins, and of course, enjoyed some libations in the evenings.
