Powder Mountain will extend night skiing hours on December 31st to 12:15 a.m. so that New Year’s revelers can count down the beginning of 2009 on the slopes. Night skiing will open at its regular time of 3:00 p.m. and the schedule for the free shuttle service will be adjusted to accommodate New Year’s Eve guests. Children are invited to participate in a glow stick parade at 9:00 p.m.

A special New Year’s Celebration package will be offered for only $20.09 per person to the first 300 guests that purchase on line at ww.powdermountain.com/registration. The package includes a pasta dinner, a lift pass and party favors. Powder Mountain season pass holders may purchase the dinner package for $10.00.

Powder Mountain will host the 2nd Annual Grom Fest for youth aged 12 and younger on January 10, 2009. Young up and coming skiers and boarders, nicknamed Groms, can really show off their skills on courses specially set up for their age group.

Events include mini-downhill races and a mini-slopestyle competition. A separate age class will be set up for competitors 6 years old and younger. Registration is free with a valid lift pass.

Lift passes for children 6 and younger are free anytime with a paying adult. A daytime lift pass for the Sundown Lift is $20 for those 7 – 12 years of age. Registration will begin at the Sundown Lodge at 10:00 AM.

“This is more of an opportunity for the whole family to come and have a good time on the snow. Of course, all of the attention will be centered on the kids” said Dave Jessup, Terrain Parks Manager and Events Coordinator.
