Winter is the best! We're outside all the time!
This winter I reported on my fun season of travel around the state. I shared info about Ski Vermont, the 5th Grade Passport and the Nordic Quest Scavenger Hunt. If you see me around, or you spot the new VP's Bridget and Nate - - say Hi and we’ll share the Fun with you!
Next year’s star bloggers will assume their job responsiblities when school starts back up.
But if you can't wait to be reminded how cooool winter is, here's a whole section of super essays from kids who love winter adventures - -they all won a retro Ski Vermont lunch box for sharing their awesome writing and cool winter fun ideas! If you have ideas or want to talk about how great snow season is - - e-mail me sarah@skivermont.com!

VP Candidate Robbie
I love snowboarding.I have snowboarded at many different places like Pico, Killington, Suicide Six, The Middlebury Snow bowl and the Camden Snow bowl in Maine. The thing I like most about winter is building snow forts and making HUGE ramps.
VP Candidate Nate
How Will I Be A Great V.P?
My name is Nate, I am in the Fourth Grade at Manchester Elementary and Middle School in Manchester, VT and I would LOVE to be the next V.P. of Fun for Ski Vermont. Do you think I can handle it? I love to snowboard and ski, especially in Vermont. I think I will be a great vice president of fun and here is why...
VP Candidate Tec
I like having fun. This past winter I went to many different mountains in search of the best trails and most fun terrain parks. I went to those mountains because of ski racing. I train at Pico and race for Pico.We go all over the state. Skiing is fun because you get to be with all your friends all day and you get to meet other kids from other mountains. After the race season is over, I spend most of my time in the terrain park at Killington with a bunch of my local and out-of-state friends.
TODAY SHOW!!!!
On February 21 the Today Show came to Sugarbush and brodcasted live with everyone Matt, Merideth, Al, Ann, and Natalie! It was sweeeet!
JAY PEAK!
On Wednesday I went to Jay Peak. My friends have a camp right next to Jay, well 20 mins. from it.
You are a star!
Hi Sarah,
Am I mistaken or was that you strapping on Ann Curry's snow shoes at Sugarbush during the Today Show? Every one looks the same in snow clothes but somehow I knew that was you. What we saw of the torchlight parade was awesome. The announcer said it was the ski patrol doing it. Were they just making it up? We are so proud of you.
Love,
Garadma and Garandpa

Konnichiwa,
That is Japanese for Hello. I went to Media Day at Sugarbush. I had to speak in front of about 90 people. It was really fun yet at the same time scary. I had to talk about my job and how I got my title "The Vice President of Fun!"

Guten Tag,
That is German for Good Morning! This week I had my first race of the year it was a VARA (Vermont Alpine Racing Association) race.
Mom and I are planning a Nordic Quest
When I'm not on skis or in class, I'm having fun outside in different ways! This week, we're strapping on our snowshoes to do a Scavenger Hunt called the Nordic Quest. We're thinking about going to Bolton Valley, where I hear you win Lake Champlain Chocolates once you get your stamp at the end of the hunt!
