Mount Snow Opens In Vermont
Mount Snow offered its earliest lift service
opening in history Saturday when the Discovery Shuttle lift loaded its
first passenger at 9:30 a.m. The early opening also made Mount Snow the
first and only resort open in Vermont. The Launch Pad trail was filled
with a dozen terrain park features and over 700 skiers and riders in
attendance throughout the weekend.
Lift tickets were sold for $10 or 10 non-perishable food items. All of
the $5,000 and over 1,500 food items raised will be donated to the
Deerfield Valley Food Pantry. This marks the second year in a row of
Mount Snow donating its opening weekend revenue to charity. Last year
they rose over $1,800 for the Guy Hawkins fund.
Skiers and riders from as far north as Burlington and south as New
Jersey made the trip for early season snow at the Fan Gun Capital of
North America. The conditions did not disappoint and further proved the
worth of Peak Resorts $9 million investment in snowmaking at Mount Snow
over the past three seasons. On Sunday, the larger crowd of the two days
was treated with some light snowfall by Mother Nature to add to the
excitement of early season skiing and riding. |
