Richmond, VT - Vermont residents and visitors now have another option for hitting the ski slopes after dark.
Up until now, only Bolton Valley, Stowe and several community run ski slopes offered night skiing in the state. Now Cochran's, a family run ski area along Route 2 east of Burlington, has installed 29 lights to allow area race teams to train during the evenings.
Parents, high school students and private donors put up the $50,000 to install the lighting system. The Vermont-based Kelly Brush Foundation, which is dedicated to preventing ski accidents and spinal cord injuries, also provided $5,000 for safety netting.
At the moment, Cochran's is offering skiing and riding on weekends only. Holiday hours run from Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, and midweek operation is expected to begin sometime in January.Online Business Consulting | Internet Business Consulting
