Description

The Viking Snowshoe Invasion is coming back to the mountain on January 26, 2019! ARE YOU READY? Join the Vernon Township Board of Recreation at Mountain Creek for the Invasion’s 2nd year on the Mountain! Choose a 5k tromp or one mile option and challenge the best of your winter skills! Runners, walkers or those trying it for the first time – ALL ARE WELCOME! Registration opens at 8:30am at the Biergarten, the lift will start bringing participants up to the top of the mountain at 9:00am and the race kicks off at 10:00am. Ride the cab up to the top of the mountain and then choose to tromp out a 5k or master a one mile downhill dash. Either event is sure to keep you warm on even the chilliest of days! Spectators can gather by the outdoor fireplaces and cheer their viking on as they make their way down the mountain! Plenty of hot cocoa will be on hand for everyone! Paper registration forms are available on our website http://www.vernontwp.com/news/viking_snowshoe_invasion/. The base registration fee is $30 to BYOS (bring your own shoes). Don’t have snowshoes? We are happy to once again offer the option to purchase a pair of TUBBS snowshoes with your registration at a discounted price of $60 (plus the base registration fee). You can find this under registration add-ons. Don’t wait though - supplies are limited. Snowshoes can be picked up from McAfee Ski & Snowboard Shop at 105 Route 94 in Vernon after November 15th.
