The Mountain Top Inn & Resort is joining with the American
Heart Association and millions of women and men who will wear red
to help raise awareness of heart disease as the #1 killer of women.
The Resort is showing its support of the National Wear Red Day by
offering a free Nordic Ski & Snowshoe trail pass on Friday,
Feb., 1, 2013 to anyone wearing red or a "Go Red Pin."
This year marks the 10th annual National Wear Red Day and the
Resort's staff is excited to support the AHA's movement to reduce
heart disease in America's women. Since the first National Wear Red
Day 10 years ago, tremendous strides have been made in the fight
against heart disease in women.
"We invite everyone to come and enjoy the 'heart healthy' sport
of cross-country skiing or snowshoeing for free," said Roger Hill,
director of programs and facilities at The Mountain Top Inn &
Resort. "The views are so spectacular; you forget that what you are
doing is good for your heart."
The trails at the Resort are groomed and perfect for skiers of
all levels. Rentals are reasonably priced for anyone who does not
have their own equipment.
Located adjacent to the Green Mountain National Forest and just
11 miles from Killington, The Mountain Top Inn & Resort's
Nordic Ski & Snowshoe Center is one of the oldest in the
country, having operated continuously since 1963. The entire trail
system, which is open to the public, covers 60km with trails
groomed for classic and skate skiing. In addition there are plenty
of secluded, untouched trails for lovers of tranquil, back country
skiing. Overlooking the Chittenden Reservoir and snow capped
mountains, The Mountain Top Inn & Resort offers "breathtaking
natural beauty," casual dining, 'mountain lodge style'
accommodations, pet friendly cabins, vacation home rentals and warm
hospitality as well as a variety of winter activities.
