 Sneak Peak at Ski Season 08/09

When will Ski Season 08/09 launch?  The “official” word around the resort is December 12^th.  If you have not heard, the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a very cold and snowy Winter, possibly even starting in November.  So, if we do receive an early Winter, Ski Season could start early.  Keep an eye on my daily blog as I will be posting all updates immediately.  I will also be posting information about value-priced lodging options.

Yesterday, I picked up the 08/09 Guide to Ski Season.  The arrival of the Winter Snow Sports Guide is always a sign that the season is near.  If you would like to receive the guide by snail mail, send me an email at kim@ExperienceNelsonCounty.com  This year’s guide includes Winter lodging rates, specials and packages, holiday celebrations, lift ticket and rental information and information on season passes.
