Bud Light Ski Bum Race Series Finals Update
Due to conditions, we will not be able to hold the Bud Light Ski Bum Race Series finals on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 as previously announced. However, the BBQ will still happen from 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. at the Killington Ski Club. We are bummed to not be able to have the last race and considered many factors in making this decision.
The Bud Light after party along with end-of-season awards will still occur at Lookout Tavern starting at 4:00 p.m. We hope to see everyone at the BBQ and Lookout Tavern tomorrow, it’s been a great season! Thank you in advance for your understanding.
