BENNINGTON, NH ??\u0432\u0402\u045c Crotched Mountain, New England’s new ski area, is giving away 2,500 or more free lift tickets at the mountain on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Patrons arriving for the day will be given a free full-day lift ticket, valid for Sunday. The lift ticket can also be saved for $5 off a future visit to the mountain. Rentals and lessons are available for purchase.<\/p>\n
“We suddenly had this crazy idea of having a day just to show off the mountain,” said Felix Kagi, Crotched’s General Manager. “Everyone here knows already that the snow is superb, but this will be a good way for people to come here and see what this ski area is all about.”<\/p>\n
Mountain operations anticipate at least 90% of the ski area to be open this weekend with all lifts turning. Snowmaking crews have been busy cranking out several feet of good quality man-made powder.<\/p>\n
“We’re trying to be the first in New England with 100% terrain open,” said Jeremy Bouchard, Mountain Operations Manager. “There’s a very good chance that we’ll do it, just because of our snowmaking power.”<\/p>\n
When Crotched Mountain was built last year, nearly half of the $10 million investment went directly into the snowmaking system. The result is a state-of-the-art, 100% coverage fan-gun system, boasting the highest production capacity in New England. Fan-gun technology is known for it’s production of high quality, natural-like powder snow.<\/p>\n
“I think that when people get here on Sunday, they’ll all be surprised at how good the snow really is,” Kagi continued. “We’ll get everyone hooked on Crotched.”<\/p>\n
Crotched Mountain is the latest addition to the Peak Resorts family. The ski area features 5 news lifts, a new 40,000 sq. foot base lodge with caf?\u0412\u00a9 and pizzeria, high-performance rentals, state-of-the-art snowmaking, and more. Crotched mountain is a quick 35 minute ride from Manchester, NH.
