Register for StorySkiThe StorySki is open to skiers age 3 to 10 and will take place on the skier's right of Lower Panther, just below the Slalom Hill.  Check-in and day-of registration will take place at the Nature Center beginning at 10:30AM.  The StorySki panels will be in place at Mad River Glen from February 19 through March 5 and can be enjoyed by all ages.  

The StorySki is based on the idea of the StoryWalk, a project that originated in Montpelier at the Kellogg-Hubbard library and has spread throughout the world. Laminated pages from a children's book are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story. It was created as a way for children to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. 

This year's StorySki will feature "After the Snowfall", a picture book written and richly illustrated by Rich Lo and published by Muddy Boots Books.  The book, which introduces children to the wonders of nature in winter, is about a fox and the many other creatures he encounters on the way to the stream.
