Hello skiers – as some of you are aware from recent emails, we are looking to upgrade our grooming tow vehicle to a mid-sized used snowcat in order to handle the bigger storms and get a smoother, harder packed surface for better ski conditions, particularly for skate skiers.  Grooming will take much less time, be physically easier and produce better results with a snow cat, avoiding the ruts left by our Gator UTV and potentially enabling daily grooming.  There is a perfect unit for sale in Maine and I am looking to raise $20k in pledges to purchase it and a storage container within the next 2-4 weeks.  We already have $7,500 from your in-season donations and new pledges but need more support to get us to our goal.  Please email me at [email protected] if you can pledge and if we get enough, I will reply to all pledgers with information on how and when to make the donation to Park Spirit of Worcester, which as a 501(c) organization is tax-deductible.  Thank you for your support all season and hopefully you will be able to contribute to upgrading the experience for everyone in 2027!  Thank you – Phil Bolduc
