Job Fair

The first job fair is this Saturday, October 27th. The fair will be held in the main base lodge and will run from 10am - 3pm. This is a great opportunity to meet with managers from all departments on the mountain and interview for jobs this winter. For a complete list of openings, and to apply online, check out our employment page. 

There will be another job fair on November 10th.

Season Pass Deadline

"It's like deja vu all over again". Yes, we've been talking about the season pass deadline for a while now but we really want to make sure that you know the season pass deadline is coming up on Monday, September 24th. Why? Well because "It gets late early out there." Not only are the days getting shorter (so it really does get late earlier) but the number of days until pass prices increase is also getting smaller. Before you know it, it'll be too late to get your pass at the current rate. While it's true that "The game isn't over until it's over" it's also true that the current prices will be over after Monday. (A tip of the ski helmet is due to Yogi Berra for the above quotes.)

• $569   Adult

Season long ski and snowboard programs, including Ridge Runners and Ridge Riders, and season long leases for just $99 are also on sale now. 

We'll be back at Alpine Shop in South Burlington printing and selling passes this Sunday from 10am - 6pm. This will be the last day of the Avalanche Sale at the Alpine Shop and they're pulling out all the stops. The Obermeyer Bounce "Chalet" will be set up for the kids. I assume this is like a bounce house but with a European twist of some sort. Also, there will be free Italian food and treats from Dalbello Boots and SWAG giveaways from Line Skis.  

Pass Printing at the Alpine Shop

The next two Sunday's (9/16 and 9/23) you will find us at the Alpine Shop in South Burlington printing and selling passes. This is in conjunction with the annual Avalanche Sale at the Alpine Shop. Stop by to get some great deals and to pick up your season pass. 

Just a quick reminder, pass prices go up after Sept. 24th so get your's today.

Vermont's Largest Ski and Snowboard Sale

We're only three days away from the opening day of Vermont's Largest Ski and Snowboard Sale. The folks who are running the sale are hard at work this morning turning the Sports Center into a giant sales floor packed with skis, snowboards, boots, outerwear and accessories. The sale opens on Thursday night. They have over $1 Million in inventory with prices as low as $99 for skis and snowboards and kids boards starting at $59.  In addition to the sale, this weekend is packed with plenty of other events and reasons to make the trip to Bolton Valley. 

We've packed the weekend full of events to keep you entertained while you are up here picking up all the goods you need for the season.

On Friday we'll kick things off with the Labor of Love Rail Jam. We'll set up a rail and truck in some snow for the first on snow rail jam of the season. Registration is open now. 

On Saturday we'll host the Run Strong Vermont 5K. All proceeds go back to ReBuild Waterbury. The prize list is pretty long and amazing for this event. Some prizes will be raffled off so you don't have to have a super fast time to go home with something cool. We'll also have a silent auction for other prizes. Everyone who enters the race will be entered into a raffle for a 2012-13 Bolton Valley All Access Season Pass. 

We've teamed up with the Richmond Farmers' market for a mini-farmers' market here at Bolton Valley on Sunday. We'll have vendors with prepared food and locally made food products set up inside the Sports Center from 11am - 2pm. We're also working on some live music, stay tuned for details.

We'll also be printing and selling season passes at the sale. 

The Season Pass Deadline Approaches

Tomorrow is the last day to get your 2012-13 Bolton Valley All Access Season Passes at the lowest prices that will be offered. Those are the same low prices we offered last spring.

Thanks For A Great Season

The 2011-12 season is over. A big thank you goes out to everyone who came up to BV to ski and ride with us this season. I hope you all have a fun "not ski season" and we'll see you in December.

2012-13 Bolton Valley All Access Season Passes are now on sale at the lowest prices that will be offered. Those are the same low prices we offered last spring, but they are only good through April 3, 2012.

Saturday Is The Last Day

We'll folks, Saturday is going to be it for the season. The record breaking heat this week has done a number on our snowpack and things have melted pretty quickly. Right now we're down to primarily Spillway, Sherman's Pass and Beech Seal. Surfaces are spring conditions and the skiing is expert level terrain only. While the snow is melting, there are some fun bumps up on Spillway, and Beech Seal is good from some carving.

On Saturday the Vista Quad will run from 10am-2pm. We'll have the barbecue set up and lunch will be just $8. Spring Skiing Karaoke will kick off at 1pm, followed by the Dewey Drive Band at 4pm.

Thanks to everyone for a great season, we hope to see you tomorrow and again next season.
