As we gear up for Winter Carnival on February 14 and 15, 2025, we look forward to an exciting weekend of competition, music, and community spirit at the Middlebury College Snowbowl and Rikert Outdoor Center.

Event Guidelines:

• No outside food or beverages are allowed at the Snowbowl.
• Rikert has limited food options available but does permit outside food.
• No outside alcohol is permitted at the events.
• Respectful sportsmanship encouraged
• No confetti (helps keep trails clean & safe)
