GREEN MOUNTAIN SKIMO SERIES (TUESDAY NIGHTS)
January 24, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us on Tuesday nights at Bolton Valley for some friendly uphill competition. The Green Mountain Skimo Not-A-Race Series is here to get you off the couch and out on snow! This winter after work don’t let the darkness take you down. Embrace it and come kick some uphill butt! Getting after it once a week is great for your fitness, and will help you ski more once the weekend arrives. Who doesn’t want to be faster on the up, and stronger on the down!

IF you do not have a qualifying Bolton Valley Season Pass (basically every season pass EXCEPT the Midweek Daytime Hours Pass) THEN you must purchase a ticket for the day of the Skimo event you attend. Cheapest options are:
– NBU Ticket (stands for Nordic Backcountry Uphill) $17 midweek
OR
