The year is 1931. America is gripped by the Depression and Prohibition is still in full swing. Life is hard for many, but not for all. Here, at Great Spatsby Manor, one could be forgiven for thinking the Great Depression was already over. 
Ben Carrie-Deway, one of the nouveau riche, and owner of Great Spatsby, is well known for hosting lavish soirées, and tonight was no exception. With exquisite food and lavish surroundings, the evening was passing pleasantly and uneventfully…at least it was until he was discovered dead in his study. 
Now all the dinner guests are suspects and it’s up to you to solve the crime! 
Tickets will go on sale March 1.

It wasn’t just a contest for the world’s best riders, but the gathering place where the entire snowboard industry came together to evolve equipment, attitudes, and culture. Its massive exposure drew a new generation of riders to Breckenridge in the early ’90s, fueling the new school progression that shaped modern snowboarding into what it is today. 
Held in Colorado’s perfect spring conditions, The New Worlds honors and celebrates 40 years of Breckenridge snowboarding ‘s past, present, and future with a full weekend of community-driven contests, including a hand-dug halfpipe and jib-jam, plus cultural events and parties that brings the snowboard community together in Breckenridge once again.
