MATT DRISCOLL: TIS THE SEASON…ALMOST >>>

It’s just about that time. Ski and snowboard season is nearly upon us. Time to start breaking out the snowpants and those long underwear with the hole in the crotch that you’ve worn for the last 7 seasons.

But before any of that, it’s time to head to the Top of Tacoma Bar tonight to check out the very first “Gnar Ball.”

Damn straight.

According to the hype, the evening â€" which starts at 9 p.m. â€" will feature 2 shred films, plenty of booze specials and even some giveaway prizes.

For a Thursday night in mid November, it doesn’t get much more Gnar.

Check it out at Top of Tacoma tonight.
