Local loyalists are first inductees to 2017-18 100 Day Club

KILLINGTON—Thursday, Feb. 15 marked 100 consecutive days of skiing for the 2017-18 season. And Jackie and Jim Nimal from Killington skied all of them—perfect attendance. That includes the Saturday in January when Killington was unfortunately closed due to severe cold and wind conditions. That day they skied Pico mountain. Jackie and Jim Nimal were last year’s 500 Day Club charter members.

The 2017-18 100 Day Club induction ceremony “official scan” was conducted and verified at 8:45 a.m. at the famous World Cup Superstar lift by Mike Orvis (above, right) and Luis Sepulveda (above, left).  Joining Jackie and Jim in the ceremony was local skiers David and Rob Kovalesky.

Friends Donna and Peggy Golonka (also a 500 Club Member) showed up shortly after the official scan to wish them well.

“Please join me in congratulating Jackie and Jim Nimal on being the first to achieve this season’s 100 Day mark, bringing their six year cumulative total to well over 600 days at Killington!!!” said Rob Kovalesky Sr., Killington 100 Club Brand Ambassador.
