What Else To Do this Weekend?
Don’t let the warm weather fool you—Vermonters are enjoying some spring skiing. On Wednesday, Magic Mountain had an impromptu beach bash with a grill, drinks and t-shirts on the slopes, Sugarbush tweeted about sweet, soft turns and Jay celebrated the vitamin D. Yes, the Stowe Derby’s been cancelled (again) but there’s more to do this weekend. Here are the events to head to.
23-35 Memphremagog Winter Swim Festival, Newport
If you’re ready for a chill join in (or watch) as swimmers compete in 25-, 50, 100- and 200-meter swims in a two-lane 25-meter “pool” cut out of the ice on Lake Memphremagog.
23-24 | Middlebury Winter Carnival at the Snowbowl
At Rikert Nordic Center, watch NCAA cross-country ski racers go head-to-head. Up the road, the Middlebury Snowbowl hosts NCAA ski racing. Plus, don’t miss the bonfire, olympics, ice show and carnival ball.
