Bus seats are going fast, so be sure to get down to Princeton Ski Shops pronto
to sign up for this Saturday's trip (March 6th) to Hunter Mountain!

If you're driving up, better yet, since you can hang with us afterwards for some
more fantastic sushi and brews!

Lift lines have been light all season and we've been enjoying great coverage and
good weather. If you've been hibernating, what are you waiting for?........the
season's half over, so come on out!
