Have you ever wondered what it would be like to race to the top of Vermont? Well, Have no fear The Race To The Top Of Vermont is a 4.3 mile hill climb for hikers, runners, and mountain bikers up Stowe Mountain Resort's Auto Toll Road and the highest mountain in Vermont, Mt. Mansfield. The event is one of the Catamount Trail Association's biggest fundraisers.
That same weekend Mountain Bike Vermont (MTBVT) has officially launched Green Mountain Showdown, the first photo competition in the state dedicated to all facets of mountain biking, from singletrack to downhill to jumping.
The Green Mountain Showdown is an opportunity for Northeastern photographers to showcase their talents. Five lucky photographers have been selected by our judging panel and will have until August 27, 2011, to collect a portfolio of work based on the theme “Bike Culture in the Green Mountains.” The evening gala will begin at 5:30pm near the Outdoor Center at Trapps and riders of all ages are encouraged to gather for an evening of great pictures, a BBQ, fine ales and live music. Tickets are $25.00 for the event or $40.00 for the event plus a fantastic meal, and they include entry to the evening gala and a day ticket to the Trapp’s trail network. Proceeds will support VMBA and the expansion of the Adams Camp trail project.
Don't forget there is still a few weeks left of Summer Camp and Summer Attractions! Summer Camp runs through September 3rd! The kids will explore nature at its best…from hikes up Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak; to “extreme streaming”; to testing their skill on our low ropes course, campers are sure to be challenged. Campers will also spend a day on the attractions (bungee trampoline, climbing wall, alpine slide and more) at Spruce Peak. Yes parents…they take the kids to the attractions so you don’t have to. There will be arts & crafts, swimming and hanging out at base camp with new friends.
Summer Attractions are open 7 days a week through September 5th and then weekends until October 16th! You don't want to miss one last Alpine Slide Ride or day on the bungee jump! Or the beautiful views from the Gondola during leaf peeping season!
Stay tuned for the September update soon!
