GMVS coaches are helping out the local, Mad River BKL Club, and getting the kids motivated for the upcoming season. This week the young skiers met up for two practices, one at Mad River Glen and one at GMVS. Both involved a little adventure and a lot of smiles!

Youngsters from the Mad River Valley are super fortunate to have one of the best backyards ever. With three alpine and two nordic areas right here in the Valley it’s hard to grow up without two planks on your feet.
