Things to do…

Jackson Ski Touring Center is now closed, but if you have your own skis, why not get one last free ski day here in Jackson village before the snow finally melts away.

Happy Spring from us all at the Village House

More snow, warmer temperatures, and the distant chirp of the Chickadee means Spring skiing and we have been having lots of fun on the mountains and trails here in Jackson.  Young Rebecca completed 15 laps at Jackson Ski Touring Center for the Grammar School Skiathon held earlier this week.  A great day was had by all and we would like to thank all guests and friends who sponsored Rebecca's efforts.

Join us to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Black Mountain and the Shannon Door Pub, for their first annual St Patrick's Day Kids Ski Parade down the mountain, this event is being held on Sunday March 13th, everyone should be dressed in green and crazy to join in the fun.
