You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd gone back in time this weekend at Mount Washington.
Skiiers and snowboarders popping in to Ted's Bar and Grill at the resort are going to do a double take at all of the retro decor, music and even food prices on Dec. 14. That's because the mountain is celebrating it's 45th anniversary with a 1979-themed party.
"The official mountain opening is this Saturday," said James Wood, an event organizer, musician and DJ for the event. "I'm sure you and a lot of your readers have know that they've had an unbelievable amount of snow already, and they've been open for the past couple of weekends.
The event is a 45-year celebration of Ted's Bar and Grill, which first opened its doors in 1979.
"We've decided to organize a 1979-themed party at Ted's from 3 p.m. until midnight," Wood said.
The party starts at 3 p.m. with Wood donning his DJ alter-ego DJ Jim Legacy.
"I'm going to be spinning my collection of 70s vinyl records from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m," he said. "When I'm spinning my records, anybody is free to go through my crate and pick out a song they'd love to hear. I'll work that into my set."
The next event will be at 7 p.m., when Bon Scott-era AC/DC tribute band TNT will hit the stage.
"I scoured B.C. for one of the best AC/DC tribute bands, and I discovered TNT," Wood said. "They are a rip-roaring band with five players that have over 160 years of music experience between them. They're going to light that stage up."
The AC/DC tribute band will be all ages as well, so kids are welcome to rock out.
To finish off the night, Saskatoon Tod will be playing a DJ set from 9 p.m. until midnight.
The music isn't the only thing from the 1970s. One of the big selling points for Wood is the fact that the food will also be 70s-themed ... including the prices.
"There won't be a meal for over $4.99," he said.
Some of the menu items include the Bee Gees Burger, Chili Hendrix, and Fleetwood Mac and Cheese.
"The person with the best 70s costume is going to win, a six pack of lift passes drom Mount Washington this season," he added. "And then they've got, this is really kind of cool t-shirt giveaway, with these amazing retro 1979 Ted's t-shirts, and they're going to give away 45 of those. to first 45 people that come to Ted's starting at 3 p.m."
"That 70's Rock genre is sort of my bread and butter," Wood said. "I'm excited to show off my records and have a really good time. I have my 70s mustache all trimmed up and in all of it's glory. It'll be a good time."
The mountain will also be open on Saturday, so people are invited to come up, ski and have a good start to the season.
