Mad River Glen Cooperative’s 30th Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser
Join us as Mad River Glen celebrates 30 years of skier-owned independence! For three decades, our cooperative community has preserved the spirit, character, and natural beauty that make this mountain unlike any other. Now it’s time to celebrate the people who made it all possible — you. This event is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Stark Mountain Foundation.
Party goers will enjoy a spectacular fireworks show, classic torchlight parade down the Practice Slope, and live music from The Grift to keep the party going. Enjoy delicious catered food from Bevo Catering out of Colchester, reconnect with fellow shareholders, friends, and raise a toast to 30 years of preserving skiing the way it was meant to be.
Come celebrate the past, present, and future of Mad River Glen — proudly cooperative since 1995.
Tickets are SOLD OUT!
