4th of July must have been a blast
BROWNSVILLE CELEBRATES THE 4TH OF JULY!!!! Remember the old saying, "You don't know what you got till it's gone?" We learned that lesson last year when there was virtually no Independence Day celebration in Brownsville and it was awful!!!! Hats off to the wonderful group of community members who have banded together to bring the 4th back to our town - they have pulled out all the stops to provide us all with what is sure to be a memorable celebration. Here is the schedule - be sure to mark the times on your calendar - you won't want to miss a minute of the fun.
Friday, July 2nd: A dazzling display of fireworks will light up the sky over Little Eagle at Ascutney Mountain Resort with parking in the Base Lodge parking lot.
Saturday, July 3rd:
7:00 - 10:00 Pancake Breakfast at the Brownsville Church
9:00 - 2:00 Flea Market & Craft Booths at the Fire Station
10:00 - 12:30 Games for kids of all ages in the center of town
10:00 - 3:00 Music by Jason Cann and Warehouse
11:00 - 11:30 Pie Eating Contest at the Fire Station
1:00 - 1:45 Parade: Floats, Bands, Cars and much more
1:45 - 2:15 Upper Valley Community Bank in the center of town
2:00 - 3:30 Bike Skill Park in Leland's Field (next to the General Store)

The statement about 2010-2011 passes is a new development.

Trust me.
It's the website that has been up, it's nothing new. Go to resort info, they are still hiring for the 09/10 season. Can't see it happening this year. Hope i'm wrong, but it's that bad of a hike if they are not open this winter.

Very unfortunate. I've had some great days there the past few years. Have to hit it after a snowfall, but it doesn't get tracked out for days....................some real good terrain!

Nice pics! Looks like some good trails and trees. Ascutney has been on the list for a while. I am putting on my "must ski" list this year. Whether the lifts turn or not.
+ 1. Looks like amazing conditions and very nice terrain.

I always thought a good idea for snowmaking there would be to just run a pipe to the CT river. Granted going under the state highway would be a permitting nightmare, but the CT is as closer or closer to Ascutney as the Woodard Resevoir was to Killington.
That would give them all the water they'd ever need and more.

From a x-employee.
He worked their last winter and goes to the hotel in the summer to work. "Very good chance it's not going to open this season". X-employee.

It is starting to get late. Nothing new on their website. You need to be selling passes ASAP and then getting staff and the equipment ready.

Well, if you can't ski Ascutney, you can "hill climb" this weekend:

this is in the state park lands.

No word lately and Ascutney is not listed as a ski area on the Ski Vermont website. Not good.
