On December 2nd, a NES Fundraiser, Pie and A Presentation, was enjoyed by many, raising more than $1,000 in profits to benefit the ski hill.
Author and ski historian Jeremy Davis spoke to a full hall about the Lost Ski Areas of Southern and Central Vermont. Viewers enjoyed homemade pies from community members and a pie auction followed. There was also the grand prize drawing for a new pair of all-mountain skis from Praxis (http://www.praxisskis.com) - won by Jonathan Pierson, and a short film of NES in 1950 was made available by Mrs Young and NES historical scrapbook by Mrs Judith Drury.
On October 23rd the 2011 Sheila Danforth Memorial Duck Race was held raising more than $4,000 to benefit Northeast Slopes.
Thank you to everyone who helped organize this event and purchased tickets. A special thanks to Renee Salomaa and all the guys at East Corinth General Store for making sure every last ticket was sold. All profits go to benefit NES.
