Saint Patrick went Skiing

At the beginning of every ski season I pull out the calendar and pencil in a couple days. Super Bowl Monday & St. Patrick’s Day are the two. Both make for great long ski weekends. (Yes, I am aware that the 17th of March sometimes falls midweek)

This year Super Bowl Monday yielded a few wonderful days of skiing in fresh snow up in Stowe, VT.

This weekend IRISH DAY will be over-serving the skiers and riders of New England with POWDER.

I hate to say I told you SO. But I did, read the last ENTRY to the blog.

J.L. getting big air and a bit OC up at Jay Peak

Honestly, this is going to be a fantastic weekend of ideal mid winter conditions.
Read: POWDER & Packed Powder! The mountains of New England are looking to pick up 1 – 2 Feet of new snow through Saturday (3/17/07).
There is big snow in the forecast for the mountains.
Areas are in full operation.
Visitors and locals are in grand spirits.
Here is an information dump of what came across the S.G. inbox from the resorts that may help you make that decision you already know you should.
Go skiing!
Get some Green this weekend!
The breakdown of what is going on this weekend in our backyard to the north.

Bretton Woods, NH – keeping it real…
The St. Patrick’s Day custom came to America in 1737 in Boston. Today, we celebrate with wearing of green, “the first green of spring,” and searching for the much-celebrated four-leaf clover that represents good luck, or your pot of gold, or the hidden leprechaun that protects his pot of gold. This weekend we will celebrate much of the same with many of our activities centered on this same festivity and fun.

*** Killington, VT ***
This is the Ski Guru’s pick for the weekend!
Area forecasts were calling for 10-16 inches up there on Thursday morning. That makes for some thirsty St. Patrick’s Day skiiing!
Thought: I wish I could change the font size and color on this blog…
Saturday should not be all that busy at the Easts most popular resort. I am hoping the snow keeps people off the roads…
Here is a LINK to some more information and a package.
Special = “King of Spring” lodging packages available

Okemo, VT
May the park rails rise up to meet you.
May the snow guns be always at your back.
May the sun give you a skier’s tan upon your face.
And powder fall soft upon your favorite slopes
And until we ski again,
May God hold you in the slopeside condo of your dreams.
The Ludlow Leprechaun will be at it again this Saint Patrick’s Day. He’ll be displaying his lucky shamrocks all across Okemo for skiers and riders to find. For every shamrock returned to the Learning Center Desk in the clock tower base lodge, a bag of goodies and the luck of the Irish will be bestowed. An après ski party with Guinness in the Sitting Bull, will include Celtic music by Gypsy Reel.
No lucky charms (they’re magically delicious) will be needed for athletes competing in the Fischer “Super” slopestyle event on St Paddy’s Day: BIG rails, BIG jumps, a BIG wall ride, and a BIG party at Christopher’s, featuring Swollen Members. $15,000 in cash and prizes, plus a $1,000 bonus if you win on Fischer skis.

Butternut, MA
Seems that the Leprechauns have already visited and left a little of their gold at Ski Butternut. So we decided to share the wealth with our guests. This is the first weekend when our lift ticket prices have been reduced to just $15 (for anyone age 7-70+) instead of our regular $49 adult weekend rate.
We are 100% open with a deep 50 inch base. All 22 trails will be open and we’ll have 7 lifts in operation including all 3 of our quad lifts.
The $15 Lift Ticket Rate is our Late Season Special designed to entice people who have not yet visited the mountain to come on out for a day and to stick with our theme of keeping skiing and riding affordable for families.
We think they will like it just as much as the Leprechauns did. And if they do like what they find they can upgrade their day ticket to a season pass for next winter by just paying the difference before they leave. See prices below in my sign off.
Ski Butternut season passes for winter 2007-08 are valid every day – (no blackout dates here). And when you buy now you get a Bonus: You can use your new pass to ski the rest of this winter for free.
$15 LIFT TICKETS every day through the end of the season including Weekends. Now that’s a spring special to take advantage of.
Have Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and may your turns look like rainbows.
