Vermont's Largest Ski and Snowboard Sale


We're only three days away from the opening day of Vermont's Largest Ski and Snowboard Sale. The folks who are running the sale are hard at work this morning turning the Sports Center into a giant sales floor packed with skis, snowboards, boots, outerwear and accessories. The sale opens on Thursday night. They have over $1 Million in inventory with prices as low as $99 for skis and snowboards and kids boards starting at $59.  In addition to the sale, this weekend is packed with plenty of other events and reasons to make the trip to Bolton Valley. 

We've packed the weekend full of events to keep you entertained while you are up here picking up all the goods you need for the season.

On Friday we'll kick things off with the Labor of Love Rail Jam. We'll set up a rail and truck in some snow for the first on snow rail jam of the season. Registration is open now. 

On Saturday we'll host the Run Strong Vermont 5K. All proceeds go back to ReBuild Waterbury. The prize list is pretty long and amazing for this event. Some prizes will be raffled off so you don't have to have a super fast time to go home with something cool. We'll also have a silent auction for other prizes. Everyone who enters the race will be entered into a raffle for a 2012-13 Bolton Valley All Access Season Pass. 

We've teamed up with the Richmond Farmers' market for a mini-farmers' market here at Bolton Valley on Sunday. We'll have vendors with prepared food and locally made food products set up inside the Sports Center from 11am - 2pm. We're also working on some live music, stay tuned for details.

We'll also be printing and selling season passes at the sale.

thanks for a great season


If this looks good to you than come on up and ski. I skied almost all of Maple to Spruce and Broadway this morning. But really folks , the only thing that has enough coverage to ski is Broadway to pond loop. That could even change tomorrow. But if you don't mind hopping over grass and creek crossings then you could try world cup or Bryant. We are done with rental gear and lessons. However the sports center will be open at least the next week. Thanks again for a great season, we look forward to the future with the Land Trust and catering to the local schools by meeting the grooming needs of the sport on that level. See you soon.-Rob D

the "Truth" as of 3-17-12

Happy St. Patrick's day. I made the rounds today, but I forgot my camera so you will have to take my word. For Nordic we have Broadway to Spruce and upper Maple Loop, Pond loop and and upper world cup as of the end of today. For back country we have Bryant, Gardner's Lane , birch loop, heavenly highway and devils drop still covered. It is soft there are a few water crossings and it is possible to sink through the untracked snow. So like the beginning of the season be careful but if you want to get one last ski in it is possible.

So believe it or not I was able to groom and everything is still open with nice spring corn snow. There are a couple of spots on each trail you need step over but you don't have to get out of your skis on any trail yet. I don't know how long it will last so get it while you can.
