Ski Resorts Hoping to See More Snow During Nor'easter

Posted: Updated:
BOLTON VALLEY, Vt. -

The Nor'easter will come as good news to ski resorts who are hoping the storm will bring lots of fresh powder.  After the sun goes down, the moon is just not quite bright enough.

Which is why for years Bolton Valley has been lighting up the slopes with night skiing.

"It's great being so close to Burlington we have a lot of people who will get out work or out of school and come skiing with us till 8 o'clock," said Josh Arneson, Director of Sales and Marketing at Bolton Valley.

This season is off to a great start thanks to some recent snowfall.

"We went from six trails last Monday to 34 today, so we continue to add more trails as we get more natural snow so it's tremendous," said Arneson.

"You forget how much fun it is to ski at night, its dark and then the lights pop out and the shadows chase you down the hill, but this is great," said Art Hogan.

Hogan used to night ski in earlier years and now brings his son to carry on the tradition.

"It's awesome we came up an hour ago and its perfect the snow is awesome, nowhere else really has night skiing so we always come up here," said Rush Hogan.  

In the past week they've had 3 ft of snow and after the Nor'easter they are hoping to get even more.

"Everyone is watching the news they see the weather they see the storm is on the way, and that just gets them even more excited to get out there and get skiing," said Arneson.
