  The Swiss Ski Club of New York 

  invites you to

  Thanksgiving Weekend in Vermont

  Thursday, November 28, 2019 - Sunday, December 1, 2019

  Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family in our cozy log cabin ski lodge is a long-standing Swiss Ski Club tradition.

  Sugarbush is slated to be open for all levels of skiers and snowboarders - if skiing on natural snow is your thing, check the conditions at Mad River Glen, too.  We've had some wonderful skiing this time of year.  

  Discounted lift tickets WILL be available!

  This year’s Thanksgiving Feast will include a smoked turkey and Southern-style BBQ beef ribs along with some more traditional fixings.  Vegetarians can be accommodated - please just let us know when registering!

  Come earlier, leave later, at your own pace and schedule.  Some are planning to stay the entire week.

  Bring friends. Everybody is welcome!
