Total Solar Eclipse
2024-04-08 15:27 - 15:29
Vermont will be experiencing a solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 and Mad River Glen is in the path of totality. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of the Earth, either totally or partially. A total eclipse, is when the Sun gets completely obscured by the Moon. During a total eclipse, the sky suddenly darkens and the Sun’s corona will be revealed. This is easily the most beautiful sight you will ever see in the sky! Be sure to use solar eclipse glasses while the Sun is not fully eclipsed. This solar eclipse has a southern terminus of (about) Barre, but even those south of Barre will be looking at about 95% blackout.

A 75 Year Fellowship of Skiing
2024-04-07 18:00 - 19:30 | Savoy Theater, 26 Main Street, Montpelier, 05602, United States
Rick Moulton Productions and Stark Mountain Foundation present the film, Mad River Glen, A 75-Year Fellowship of Skiers at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, VT on Sunday, April 7th at 6:00 pm.
This new short documentary celebrates the 75th season of the Mad River Glen Cooperative ski area in Fayston, Vermont. In 1988, filmmaker Rick Moulton released his first short film about the ski area, “Spirit of a Classic.” His new film focuses on the most recent 35 years of Mad River Glen’s history using new interviews and archival footage and taking a deeper look at what makes the ski area such a unique place.
Mad River Glen was founded in 1949 by Roland Palmedo and then sold by Betsy Pratt in 1995 to a group of cooperative skiers who intended to keep the ski area away from corporate investors. Her forward-thinking decision has kept Mad River Glen’s ownership in the hands of the people who love it. The cooperative, with the support of Stark Mountain Foundation, has preserved the rustic, laid-back character, low skier density, natural terrain, and friendly atmosphere that gives the ski area its charm.
This 85-minute showing at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier will include a short film by Stark Mountain Foundation (the sponsor) and the 1988 film Spirit of a Classic. Burlington filmmaker Rick Moulton will introduce and be available to answer audience questions after the three short films.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, students, members, and veterans, and children 12 and under are free.
