Winter Explosion is finalizing plans to return to the plush, 1st class
HUDSON VALLEY RESORT
and SPA: Set amid 400 acres of majestic landscapes and surrounded by the
fabled Shawangunk Mountains and adjacent to Minnewaska State Park in the
Catskills, this 4-Star resort has become like "home" to the WE Family.
Replete with expansive yet cozy Grand Lobby (with chandeliers and about
a dozen sofas), European Health Spa, Cigar Bar, 700-Seat Amphitheater
and other special features, this location is one you'll have to see
to believe!
Gazing out at the rolling hills and
mountainous landscape, it's hard to believe this resort is only 90
minutes from NYC. A recent multi-million dollar renovation allows Winter
Explosion guests to experience opulence. The massive,
lavishly-appointed, yet "cozy" lobby (with its own bar) is perfect for
reunions with old Winter Explosion friends, boy/girl watching or just
chilling... around the clock!
A full-service European Health Spa w/
separate men and women spas, free and universal weights, Jacuzzi,

Guests who select to depart from the DC Departure Location, by
far, travel the farest distance on the ground to arrive to
Winter Explosion. For this GRAND FINALE YEAR, we decided
to offer you an opportunity to upgrade the style in which you
get there... we've contracted with a black-owned Tour Coach
Operator for a tour coach to accommodate those WE10
guests who want to travel "in the best of comfort & style". If you've ever seen the tour buses recording artists travel in,
this is it... leather benches, a kitchette/sitting area, plush
living room furniture, plasma screen televisions, state-of-art
sounds system, plenty of room to spread out, light
refreshments. If that doesn't paint a picture for you, consider this:
It's the equivalent of flying FIRST CLASS... We realize
this will not appeal to everyone, however, if you are one who
feels you want & deserve to travel to this last Winter Explosion
in true style & comfort, this is it! Consider treating
yourself to this upgrade.

"Tony's Old Skool 70's

venture offsite, take over a local skating rink
for 2 hours and be transported back in time
to an era when some of us were teens, some in
grade school and others toddlers. Some
will just have to "pretend" they were there...
This was a special time to be black in
America -we had our own music that was
uniquely sexy, provocative, sometimes raw and
political, ALWAYS loud! We had our own
style of dress and talk. We even had our
own movies such as "Mahogany", "Superfly",
"Get Christie Love". That feeling will
be captured this entire night tonight beginning
with something we loved to do back in the
70's: SKATE. Remember "Backwards
Skate" and "Couples Skate"?
Well, for this event you can skate with that
special someone openly during couples skate
without fear or intimidation -we'll
have the place to ourselves! Bring your
own skates or rent them there, but get ready...
we are even bringing our own DJ to the rink to
take you back musically as well... to the 1970's
(70's attire requested).
HOT, HOT, HOT!
