Join the Middlebury Ski Bum League!

It’s time once again for the ski bum league races at the Bowl! We have a ski bum league that happens on most Fridays from January to March and we’d like to get more Middlebury College students involved.

Anyone can join. No “racing” experience needed. That includes students, faculty, staff, and community members. There is a scoring system that gives everyone a chance to win, even if you’re snowplowing down the hill.

You can race on anything. Skis, snowboard, tele gear, whatever your fancy. You don’t have to go every Friday, but you’ll want to! The best part is the social hour that follows: free appetizers at various locations throughout town. No need to be 21.

So please reach out to a few friends and see if you can get them excited to start a team or join an existing one – it’s a great way to meet faculty, staff, and community members. Anyone is welcome to participate — the more the merrier.

All events are on Fridays at the SNOW BOWL, from 1:30-3 p.m. Here’s the schedule: January 11, 18, 25; February 1, 8, 22; March 1, 15, 22, 29.

Cost:
Middlebury College Students are FREE
Middlebury College Staff and Faculty, $10 for the season
General public, $20 for the season

Lift tickets are not included but appetizers are!  Hope to see you this season!
