Participants under the age of 17 require a parent or guardian signature. Details on registration and more information about the event can be found online at www.skibluemt.com.

The event is sponsored by Shea’s Hardware in Palmerton.

The resort will also be open the remainder of this week from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
