Official melt out at the Mansfield snow stake was today!
Fitting that the man who just skied 1/2 a year (183 days) would get it right on the nose! Congrats ! Come find us at our next event for a free MBA hat and entry into the Elmore Mountain 10k run or next year's season of Tuesday night skimo at Bolton!

Guess the melt out date!!

After an incredible start to the year we sustained our depth but we never quite made it up to the seasonal average max depth at the Mansfield snow stake.

With the end of the season approaching we are relaunching everyone's favorite game, guess the melt out date!

Whoever guesses closest to the date on which NWS reports 0" at the stake wins! The winner will receive an MBA hat and free entry into either our fall Elmore Mountain 10k trail race OR a season pass to next winter's Green Mountain Community Skimo series.

All entries must be received by Wednesday April 15th at 11:59 PM.

The first day the snow stake hits zero is the winning day. If it snows again, you can go ski the snow, but it won't count for this game.

For a tie we will randomly draw the winner from all correct guesses.

50+ people braved the cold for skimo tonight and we were treated to an incredible Aurora display during the race!

We are on for week 2 of Skimo this evening (1/13)!!

Start is at 6:00 PM sharp from the base of the Wilderness chair at Bolton.

We have a fun course on tap heading up in the woods and a chill descent.

Weather looks ideal, with temps around 29 and calm winds!

We have a great raffle lined up as well starting at 8:00 PM in the fancy new fireside lounge across from the Tavern.

Please leave any gear in the coyote room not in the fireside lounge as we are trying to prevent the lounge from being a gear storage area.
