Ascutney Outdoors will be celebrating its new T-bar on Saturday, January 18th from 12- 4 pm. This day is dedicated to applauding the community spirit behind the area's rebirth and the return of community ski areas that are accessible to all. Please join us! Following a short dedication ceremony starting at noon, free skiing will be offered to everyone until 4 p.m. Brownsville's own Butcher and Pantry will be on hand serving up an awesome chili bar at a cost of $10 per person. There will be music and other activities, and the tubing lift will also be in operation with its' regular purchased tickets. There is no snowmaking at the mountain, so just like the old days, the area relies on mother nature - a real commitment to Protecting Our Winters. The event will take place even if conditions aren't acceptable – we'll have a snow dance and enjoy an afternoon of food and fun! We're looking forward to operating the T-bar, tubing lift and rope tow for school groups and the Thursday Night classic racing as soon as Mother Nature allows. Join the fun!
