January 19, 2011 By Marsha

Windells Academy student Nick Goepper visited Mount Snow this week to help out with the Skills Enhancement Camp, presented by Mount Snow, Windells Academy, and the Matterhorn Inn. Mount Snow’s Grom Fest was a huge success and Nick was there to give a helping hand. The event was sponsored by Dalbello Ski Boots, Marker, Smith Optics, and two of Nick Goepper’s own sponsors, Volkl and Under Armour. “It’s very cool to be able to inspire and give back. Nick looks so big, but he’s really not so much older than some of them!” said David Currier of Smith Optics. High fives all around to the Groms for flying down the mountain, Nick Goepper for giving some expert tips, and the sponsors for making the event a success!
