SQUAW VALLEY SKI PATROL TO HOST 17TH ANNUAL SNOW GODS BALL

Squaw Valley Ski Patrol is hosting the 17th Annual Snow Gods Ball on the evening of Saturday, December 20. Open to the public, the Snow Gods Ball is set to take place at the Plaza Bar in Squaw Valley's Olympic House.

This year's ball features live music with Monophonics, DJ Dusty Love, and DJ Waffle. Snow Gods Ball raffle prizes include a Squaw Valley USA Midweek Season Pass, lift tickets, ski and snowboard gear, and more. The doors open at 8 pm and the music starts at 9 pm. All party goers must be 21 or older to attend.

Snow Gods Ball headlining act, Monophonics, bring a unique blend of old school soul/funk and rare groove. Since coming together in 2005, they have quickly evolved into one of the hottest live instrumental funkbands in the Bay Area. Recognized for their retro sound, style, and approach (primarily inspired by late '60s and early '70s artists like The Meters, The J.B.'s,The and Crusaders), these young heavy-hitters aim to spread live, instrumental dance music as well as represent and continue the tradition of California/Bay Area soul, jazz and funk. They have just finished recording their second album featuring vocalist Marcus Scott and special guest Karl Denson which is scheduled to be released in 2009. www.monophonics.com
