The Craftsbury Marathon Ski Festival is evolving yet again! This year, for the 38th edition, we are adding a freestyle marathon on Sunday! We are very excited to finally bring skate skiing into the Craftsbury Marathon fold, while still retaining the classic roots that got us started back in 1981.
We are incredibly excited to have Fischer Sports as our title sponsor for the 2019 Craftsbury Marathon Ski Festival. We thank them for their support! Interested in trying Fischer’s latest skis, boots, and poles? Come to our on-snow expo, December 8 and 9, 2018. Fischer’s New England reps will be there with a demo fleet of the latest gear.

Rollerskiing up the scenic Kancamagus Highway
Making it to the top of Mt Washington, one way or another!
A return to the popular Red Tail Trail for mountain bikers
Some new additions for this year’s edition of Mountain Camp:
Competition in the Loon Mountain Race, which takes places on the 2nd day of camp
One more day! Camp will now be 5 nights/6 days: a full week’s duration of training time!

Cochran's MNC Trivia Night!
2019-10-25 17:00 - 21:00 | Cochran’s Ski Area, 910 Cochran Rd, Richmond, VT, 05477
What is the event?
The event is a dinner and goofy trivia night, with themes and questions designed for all ages and categories…not just skiing!
Where/When is the event?
The event is at the Cochran Ski Lodge, 910 Cochran Road, Richmond, VT. Dinner begins at 6pm, with trivia beginning at 7:30. MNC members will provide potluck appetizers and deserts, and the club will be grilling burgers and hot dogs.
The club will also be providing non-alcoholic drinks. The event is BYOB for alcoholic beverages, but there will be a keg of local beer available for a $4 donation to our van.
How can I participate?
We are asking MNC members to be a captain and form their own teams of six people that would be part of your goofy trivia team. Ideally, each team of six would have some non-MNC members (eg. friends, family, etc.). Each team member pays to participate. Adults pay $20.00, children pay $10.00. As the team captain, you collect money from your team and then register your team through the MNC website. As a captain, you are also asked to come up with a theme for your team and represent that theme. Prizes will be awarded to the team or teams with the best theme. Prizes will also be awarded to the top trivia teams.
How should I market this event to my friends and family?
Ask your friends and family if they would be interested in participating in a fund raiser where they get dinner, music, and play goofy trivia as a team. The goofy trivia is a team activity; it is not individual. During goofy trivia, teams have time to discuss what they think is the correct answer and provide one answer that represents the entire team. It should be a night of good food and good laughs.
How soon should I get my team registered?
We are asking all teams are registered by Thursday, October 24th.

See you at Cochrans!
