Mount Snow is just over the border in Southern Vermont. Which means in a very short time, you can be attacking the slopes. We have 127 trails to keep you busy. And 24 lifts to keep you m'oving. As long as you've got your current college I.D., a midweek lift ticket is just $26. And you can get the same rate at our Haystack area on the weekends. Which makes the five-year plan look pretty good.

Northeastern Power Out With The Play Does In PC "Ivys" Lady Friars Knock Off Two Ivy League Foes by Pieter J. Ketelaar *97 Sports Writer The Providence College Women's Ice Hockey was back in action this week on their home ice, a welcome change for the Lady Friars who just put the wraps on a five game road trip on which they played at Princeton, Middlebury, and in Montreal in the Teresa Humes Tournament. Providence began their mini-homestand against Ivy- League rival Yale. On Sunday, the Lady Friars overwhelmed the opposition and lit the lamp a season-high fourteen times! This offensive explosion was keyed by Stephanie O'Sullivan and freshman Alison Wheeler who both had hat tricks and four assists apiece. All three of PC goalkeepers (Gina Martiniello, Natalie Mancuso, and Natasha Fine) were ster­ ling in goal for the Lady Friars each working a quarter and each holding the opponent scoreless as Providence white­ washed Yale by a final of 14-0, for their third straight win in the ECAC.
