Spruce Peak Snowmaking Upgrade: We’re thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with the Mt. Mansfield Ski Academy. As Vermont’s highest peak, ski racing is in our DNA, and we are excited to help grow the next generation of ski racers with a new additional snowmaking pump. This addition will allow early-season snowmaking on Main Street race trail on Spruce Peak. We believe that race programs add tremendous value to the resort, both in terms of fostering young talent and contributing to the vibrancy of our winter sports community. These programs inspire future generations of skiers and riders, and we’re proud of our history of support in the next generation of athletes.
For 90 years, our partnership with Mount Mansfield Acadamy (MMA) has been focused on providing the best possible venue to produce elite ski racers. The construction, maintenance, and exclusive access to The Main Street Race venue are just the most recent manifestation of this long history.
