Winter Isn't Over Yet, it's time for the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge This Weekend
Ahh, the end of the ski season, so sad, isn't it? But the one good thing about watching the winter season come to a close, is the promise of a good time at Killington's Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge. The weather may be unpredictable throughout the winter season and in to spring, but the Mogul Challenge is a sure thing, coming back the same weekend every year, April 2nd and 3rd. While we hope some of you reading this remember the days of extra curricular activities such as lounging on couches in the snow, enjoying a catered barbecue (and tasty beverage), and mingling with friends and strangers alike, there actually is a mogul event that takes place too! Over the two days some very talented amateur skiers compete for speed and technique. There are several divisions for men, women, and kids. It's great to watch the tricks, the races, and the competition.
Plus, with our "lowest of the season" rates, winter weather on the way this weekend, why not check availability and swing up to Killington for this amazing event, fun on the snow, and good times all around.
