On Friday February 21 the combined Yale and Brown Clubs hit the slopes at Bolton Valley. The night shift started at 4:00 pm as the lights came on from the summit to the base.  The intrepid participants soldiered on through the unexpected snow to conquer the mountain in true Ivy fashion.  We were ever true and ever blue!

It’s not all work and no play, so seven of us gathered in the Tavern for dinner – three from Brown, three from Yale, and one with dual citizenship.Some had to head home afterwards, but others went back out for some post-prandial and post-libational runs. We’ll do it again next year!The weather is really cooperating for the ski event at Bolton on the 21st. Epic nor’easter rolling in this weekend – be there with the Bulldogs and Brunonians on Friday.
The lifts are open from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm for top-to-bottom green-to-black illuminated skiing. Buy your tickets soon.

Don’t forget that as the overall snow coverage is great, afternoon Nordic Skiing is also available at Bolton, and passes are $25 per person. If you plan to ski Nordic, before meeting up in the Lodge, feel free to text our organizer Terry Hook at (802) 355-4943 if you want to connect with other Nordic enthusiasts. Nordic tickets are here.

You may come and go anytime, but some of us plan to be “booting up” in the lodge at 4:00 pm – look for the Brown banner and any other collegiate paraphernalia. RSVP not necessary, but we can keep an eye out for you. You can also text Terry Hook at (802) 355-4943.

After a few early runs (the sun sets at 5:30pm) some food, libations, and socialization would go well at around six pm. The James Moore Tavern is open until 9pm for food and drinks.
