This is the event where the best chili cooks in the world compete for top prize of a pizza and ice cream party for their department.  We had a great turn out for the chili cook off and with 12 entries the competition was heated.

Judges for the fiery chili was the legendary snowmaker Terry Weltmer, The food and Beverage super human, Chris Patrick and culinary genius,  Jeff Coburn of the Ticket Department.  It must have been tough to pick a winner since all of the chili was awesome!

1st place and holder of the trophy and bragging rights for the 2008|2009 season went to Victoria Gustafson of IT.  And 2nd place went to John Noble also of IT (maybe they know a good recipe website).  Coming in 3rd place, Ryan Smith of Food and Beverage fame.  People’s Choice and honorable mention went to chili guru Ryan Seelye of Vehicle Maintenance who was trying to win back to back cook offs.

Music was provided by Remmel Wilson who had the whole place going off the hook, check him out if you ever get a chance!

Special thanks to everyone who helped with the set up and clean up!

Thank you for sharing a nice evening with us at the South Lodge! We were stoked to see so many old friends, talk about our favorite things about Homewood and share a toast to the coming ski season at Homewood. The snow on the mountain has really gotten good since then, and we couldn’t be happier to see all our friends making turns in the fresh powder over the Christmas Holiday.

We agree with you. “Homewood is absolutely special!”
