Stowe Mountain- Vermont
Annual Sugar Slalom
April 3 & 4, 2010

Open to USSA licensed racers ages 9 and up, this race attracts some of the best talent in the East and is a great opportunity to lower USSA points late in the season. On day two, the Sugar Slalom is open to anyone over 21 years of age wishing to be a part in the weekend’s festivities.
Originating as a celebration of the arrival of spring and the tapping of maple trees, the Sugar Slalom is held in a Mardi gras atmosphere complete with music, barbecue on the hill, fantastic ski racing and festive costumes. To top it all, the race also features a unique Vermont treat - maple syrup on snow, donuts and pickles at the finish.

Wildcat Mountain -New Hampshire
We are even thinking there is still a good chunk of season left for you in April and with many New Hampshire resorts already closed, partially closed, or closing after this weekend, we are hoping to spin lifts until Patriots Day, Monday, April 19th; possibly even the weekend after that; or who knows, we could even spin a lift the first weekend in May if conditions look good and weather is kind
