Chili Ski Fest

Author: admin   |   0 Comments   |   Categories: Blog • Chili Ski Fest   |   Tags: • • • •

On Saturday, 27 February, the Paul Smith’s College VIC will host our annual chili tasting and fun-on-the-snow extravaganza.

The event will take place rain, sleet, snow, or hale – hopefully snow! Entry is $10 or free with the purchase of a ski pass.

In addition to a great feast of chili and corn bread prepared and served by Chef Sarah Longley and Paul Smith’s College culinary students, there will be ski and fat bike demonstrations, a naturalist-led snowshoe walk, and a waxing clinic.

The featured event will be a fun “Find the Gazebos” poker run, in which intrepid competitors on skis or snow shoes will be challenged to find the VIC’s seven gazebos, collecting a token at each one. Each token is exchanged for a card, followed by a poker game in the VIC Great Room.
