JACKSON — Granite Backcountry Alliance (GBA), a New Hampshire nonprofit organization developing backcountry skiing in New Hampshire and western Maine, will host the second annual Wild Corn Shindig on Saturday, April 7, at Black Mountain in Jackson. All proceeds benefit Granite Backcountry Alliance projects to promote and expand backcountry skiing in the region.

Wild Corn Shindig is a celebration of the staple crop of spring skiing: corn snow. “Corn” refers to the snow condition during the time window when it has become soft and forgiving, but not too wet and slushy — creating an ideal skiing surface in areas such as the alpine environment of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains, including the famed Tuckerman Ravine.
