Click here Killington Receives Green Light for Audi FIS Ski World Cup This WeekendVermont’s Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in Eastern North America, is pleased to receive a positive snow control announcement from FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation), the governing body of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup. With this announcement, Killington Resort can assure international race teams and ski racing fans traveling to central Vermont for Thanksgiving weekend that both the giant slalom and slalom races will take place as scheduled on November 30 and December 1. "It was a real battle with Mother Nature this year, but once again our superstar snowmaking team was able to fire up 125 snowmaking guns to lay down enough snow for a world-class show next weekend,” said Killington President and CEO Mike Solimano. “We were able to take advantage of our fleet of new low-energy snow guns and the new fan guns installed this summer to pull off this feat and I can’t wait for the best athletes in the world to join us for an incredible weekend of ski racing action. There’s even a chance Mikaela Shiffrin will notch her 100th win on the slopes of The Beast!” CEDRR Dec.

Vermont Saves: A Retirement ProgramJoin Vermont State Treasurer Mike Pieciak for a discussion about Vermont Saves, the Treasurer's publicly administered retirement program launching in December 2024. The event will be held on Wednesday, December 11 at 8:30 a.m. in the Streetside Conference Center, 67 Merchants Row in Downtown Rutland. Vermont Saves will improve the financial security of tens of thousands of Vermonters. The program creates a retirement savings plan for Vermonters not offered a plan through their employer. Employers with 5 or more employees who do not currently offer their workers a retirement plan will be required to sign up for Vermont Saves by the end of February 2025. Their workers will automatically be enrolled in a Roth IRA account. Employees can set their own contribution rate, use the program default (5%), or opt out of the program if they choose. The program makes saving for retirement simple and automatic. At no cost to employers or taxpayers, Vermont Saves will help secure a stable retirement for Vermont's workforce. Join us to learn more! |
