    Cooler nighttime temps have already set-in, kids are back to school, and Fall activities are in full-swing. This is when the anticipation begins to build for us all! We are looking forward to the coming Winter Season with you! The weather forecasters are starting to kick around the idea of colder and drier - we’ll take it - considering we will provide the moisture needed for snowmaking just as long as we have cooler temps we are good to go! Generally snowmaking begins anytime around Thanksgiving if temps permit. Please stay with us this Pre-Season and keep an eye on our Calendar to join us for Events leading-up to our 65th Season of 2025-’26.

Zozobra Bonfire
DUSK/DARK  Mt. Mansfield Slope

A Fun For All Bonfire...Zozobra: "Old Man Gloom" as his name suggests, he embodies gloom; by burning this symbol of gloom, the worries and troubles of the previous seasons are destroyed in the flames and a spectacular winter will be fourth-coming. It didn't quite do the trick last season, so we need more people to come-out this year, to get the snow to fly and the cold weather to hold, for a fantastic winter season.
