Our ski programs don’t start until the New Year, but it looks like Tristan, one of the Special Olympics athletes that GMAS sponsors out of Smugglers' Notch Resort is more than ready for the mountain to open! We love your Halloween costume Tristan, and we are rooting for you to add even more medals around your neck this year! Check out our webpage for more information about our programs and upcoming events. Let it snow!!

We were so close to reaching our goal this year at the Heady Trotter at the Alchemist, and that’s something to CELEBRATE! We raised $18,177 out of our $20K goal, and even though we just missed the full match, your contributions added up to something truly POWERFUL. The outpouring of generosity from our community shows just how much we can accomplish together. Thank you for standing with us and helping drive this important work forward. It’s never too late to add a little donation if you can… We wish to thank all of the volunteers, The Alchemist, Heady Trotter Four Miler, Vermont Farmstead Cheese Co. who donated 100% of the proceeds from the sale of grilled cheese sandwiches, everyone who participated, cheered, and donated, and of course, our friends at The Vermont Community Foundation. We are grateful and happy, and can’t wait to be part of this amazing event again next year!

Many thanks to the skoaches who worked with the kids, it all went so smoothly…everyone was a natural!

The Heady Trotter at the Alchemist is this Sunday, Oct 19 and we need your help to unlock a $20,000 matching grant from The Vermont Community Foundation! The funds raised at last year’s event helped us expand our Adaptive Ski and Ride program which will be offered at Smugglers’ Notch AND Stowe this winter! We have big plans for 2026 and hope to once again get enough financial support from our community to get this important donor match. Help us provide Vermonters living with disabilities with greater access to a variety of sports in our community. If you can, please donate for this amazing campaign and help us get the match from the generous donors at VCF!

The GMAS Ski and Ride Program is now offered at both Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers’ Notch Resort, thanks to a matching grant from VCF.
