Mountain Meisters

Mountain Meisters Heads into its 37th Season at Cranmore

The origin of Mountain Meisters dates back to the early seventies when Cranmore looked at the Meister program as an opportunity to showcase the mountain and let our Valley residents experience the great conditions at a very affordable price. Meisters would head back to work and share their experiences, great conditions and the upcoming events at the in-town mountain with visitors and co-workers.

Today the Meister program hosts 45 teams with approximately 650-700 weekly racers. Captains eagerly await the annual captain’s meeting held mid-November to pick up their Meister registration and get the updates for the season so they can get their team signed up early and take advantage of Wednesdays at Cranmore all season. The official season season kicks off January 7, 2009 with the first race (race course open 9am-4pm) and Kick Off Party, which includes a live band, food, and great raffle prizes in Zip’s Pub, 4:30-6:30.

Once teams are registered, racers may ski/ride any Wednesday that Cranmore is open except for vacation periods. Get your team signed up – opening date is tentatively scheduled for December 6, 2008! Your Meister pass offers you many benefits at Cranmore and with participating Meister partners throughout the Valley.

Meisters head to Cranmore each Wednesday to make sure they get their run in. Each team accumulates place points over the ten week race series looking to win and earn bragging rights for the year. It is a great day on the mountain with friends, weekly raffles, friendly competition and après ski in Zip’s Pub. Not to mention getting out of work early!

Interested folks not having a team can contact Danbo at meisters@cranmore.com and we’ll find you a team. All Meisters must be 21 years of age by 01/01/09.
