MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE’S FEBRUARY graduates, fondly referred to as the Class of 2023.5, descended the lower half of the Allen Trail on a mild, sunny day at the Middlebury Snowbowl this past Saturday as part of their graduation ceremony. Independent photo/Steve James

THE TRADITION OF Middlebury College February graduates skiing at the Snowbowl in caps and gowns returned after a three-year hiatus. Cornwall native Faith Isham shows her pride in the Class of 2023.5 by giving a cheer as she ascends the mountain on Saturday with many of her classmates. She descended the ski slope elegantly on a snowboard with cap in hand. Independent photo/Steven James

ABOUT 1,200 PEOPLE attended the ceremony, which had been cancelled in 2021 and 2022 because of the COVID pandemic and held on campus below Mead Chapel in 2023 because of extreme cold. There was some controversy earlier this January as to whether the graduation tradition would be revived in 2024 at the Snowbowl, but ultimately student-will prevailed and the one-of-a-kind graduation tradition was revived in grand style.
