They have a unique perspective having served our country and teaching a sport that they love.”

Lessons and equipment are being offered to Military Winterfest registrants at half the regular price. Vet2Vet lesson reservations for every age and ability level are highly recommended and should be made no later than 48 hours before arriving. After booking lessons vets should meet in front of the Ski and Snowboard School sign at 9:45 a.m. or 1:45 p.m. ready to go, he said.
