The 2015/2016 season will be ON3P’s seventh year of production. We’ve grown, a lot, from a 200 sq. ft. garage to an 8,400 sq. ft. factory. We’ve had lots of highs and lots of lows. We’ve seen ON3P develop more than we ever thought possible. Nevertheless, ON3P’s bottom line hasn’t changed since that first pair was pulled from the press: build the best skis possible, period.
Join us at the base of Loveland Basin on Sunday, March 13 for your chance to demo ON3P's full line of skis! There is no cost to participate, although a driver's license and credit card are required for deposit as is a valid lift ticket.
Bottom Dollar String Band has been a growing bluegrass powerhouse in Austin since their formation in the Texas Hill Country in 2011. Hunter Hollingsworth (mandolin/lead vocals) and Josh Moore (banjo/vocals) are the founding members with Devon Canady (guitar/vocals) joining a year later after a seemingly harmless garage jam. Since then they have explored a sound that borrows from the high-lonesome harmonies and blazing fiddle tunes of bluegrass and blends it with genre-bending medleys, sing-along pop covers, and their own rep of quotable original songs. Labels aside, Bottom Dollar strives to strip music down to its roots and express the human experience with themes of Americana folklore. The band is beginning their reach out-of-state and has entered into the Telluride and RockyGrass band competitions this summer. They have also gotten to share the stage with such notable acts as the Duhks, Barefoot Movement, Town Mountain, and White Denim.

He has since developed his own style featuring creative, rhythmic melodies, and thoughtful fusing of world styles. Earning a BM in Violin Performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston launched Andy into a flurry of touring and teaching around the globe - including Heavy Metal with Devil in the Kitchen, Folk/Hip-Hop with FiddleFoxx, Swedish/Appalachian with Blue Moose and the Unbuttoned Zippers, Electronic/Celtic with Firecloud, and Bluegrass with The Earth Stringband, which toured Southeast Asia on the 2011 American Music Abroad tour for the State Department and Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Described as “High-Octane Rocky Mountain DanceGrass”, Whitewater Ramble (WWR) uses a simple recipe to craft it’s sound: start with bluegrass instrumentation, add drums, and finish with a boundary-less approach to grassing-up everything from disco house grooves to roots to Americana. The Colorado-bred quintet combines the elements of mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar, upright bass, drums and vocals to explore the musical boundaries of multiple genres and to fuel their own mixture of original music and innovative cover song interpretations. Whether playing an intimate encore, acoustic and unplugged in the crowd, or surfing on top of the upright bass, Whitewater Ramble delivers a powerful and memorable live performance.
