We’re kicking off Clermont’s celebration of the Semiquincentennial with a series of presentations about Clermont at the brink of revolution. Join Historic Site Manager and premier Livingston scholar, Geoff Benton, for a presentation about the People of
Clermont in 1776. Delve into the lives of the Livingston family, the dozens of people they enslaved, and the thousands of Palatine Germans bound to their lands. How did their lives intertwine? How were they affected by the revolution? And were they all on the same side? A discussion over tea will follow.

Our Annual Slush Cup will be held on Saturday, March 14th Free with the purchase of a lift pass or season pass. The objective of the pond skimming event is for skiers and snowboarders to make it all the way across our slushy pond at the base of Middlefield,
but we’re looking for you to do it in style. Pond skimmers are strongly encouraged to wear a great costume. We know there will be a lot of entertainment value at the Powder Ridge Slush Cup, so if you don’t want to give it a try, we’re certain you’ll have a blast watching on the sideline. We’ll have prizes for the Best Skimmer and Best Costume, and we’ll even have some swag to the skimmers we feel really bad for!
