I would like you to meet siblings Henry and Autumn from Morrisville, Vermont. Henry is 3 years old and Autumn is 6 years old. I met them on their way to Sir Henry’ s Wonder Carpet and Mogul Mouse’s Magic Lift. I was impressed that they were carrying their own skis. They were both very happy that they were going skiing! Autumn is super excited, because today she is going to ride the chair lift for the first time! It was wonderful to meet the two of you and I hope you have a fantastic time tearing up the slopes today!

We received 2 to 3 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours, 13 inches in the past week, and 37 inches this season so far. Tonight we plan to make snow on Garden Path, Lower Morse Liftline, and Meadowlark. I’m sure some of you are wondering about the Madonna I Lift. Madonna is a pretty gnarly mountain and it takes a good bit of snow to open. We have quite a bit of snow up there, but just not enough yet. There are still some open water bars that need to get covered up. Our plan is to make snow on Upper Chilcoot next week when mother nature allows. If you hike or skin up Madonna Mountain use caution and be aware of obstacles.
This Saturday, December 7th is the 25th Annual Brewfest in the Meeting House. Check here for more information.
