Good morning skiers and riders! Après-ski is a French term literally meaning “after ski” and has been a part of ski culture since practically the beginning of time. While this phrase can be associated with a chic slopeside terrace and a glass of champagne, it’s not really our style here at the Bowl; we après Authentic Vermont-style kicking up a crackling fire, some local drinks and snacks, and authentic Vermont musicians! We’ll be getting the party started at 4pm with local musician Jimmy Goodwin who will deliver a soul-stirring musical experience, blending a rich variety of genres that include blues, reggae, rock, funk, bluegrass, and a sprinkle of country.
Temps will be a little cooler with a high near 39 with a west wind 6 to 13 mph, and you guessed it, a little more sprinkling of rain but today there will be some snow mixed in! The skiing’s been great though, so don’t let a few sprinkles fool you, we’re still ripping it all day and through the evening on 6 lift services trails including our completely free Disco Carpet! Now don’t confuse our Disco Carpet in our Discovery Zone learning area with après, this disco dance is strictly limited to the early stages of learning to ski from our PSIA certified instructors, or on your own, but chances are if you sign up with our professional snow sports team, you’ll feel much more confident on your skis sliding in to join us in the lodge for a little après! (full disclosure: the carpet is completely free but there is a slight fee for learning with a pro).
Unfortunately, we are not allowing uphill skinning at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes but you are welcome to hike.
Don’t forget to pick up a punchcard when you load the TVT “Bus to the Bowl” to earn rewards throughout the season as you fill them up.
