Chester Bowl opened for the season on Saturday. Now, the ski hill is jumping into its five days of lessons between Christmas and New Year’s, followed by Freestyle Fridays, Girls Shred, and the Alpine Races, in addition to being open for regular use. You can attend lessons with a day or season pass for the slopes.

Fundraising continues for the Chalet renovation. The Growing Up Chester project is 85% funded, with $3.2 million of $3.8 million raised. An anonymous donor has agreed to match up to $50 thousand of donations through January 15. More information can be found here.
