If you’re over 50, in the New England area and love snow sports, then you might want to head to New Hartford, CT on February 27 for the Connecticut Senior Winter Games.

For avid skiers there are downhill races, a giant slalom and cross-country events. There’s even a snowshoe race for those who prefer their footwear to be extra-large and sensible. Snowshoes will be provided for those signing up for this event. The games will be held at Ski Sundown.

Fees for registration vary by event from $30 for snow shoe or cross country only up to $60 to register for all four events. Lunch is provided for an additional $15.

Age classificates apply to both male and female participants. The ranges are: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90+.
