Abstract: Plant-based butters can have very different thermal behavior due to their fatty acid and triglyceride compositions. The presentation will briefly review what innate variables and modifications can affect their thermal behavior. We will highlight the difference between melting points and Solid Fat Content curves as analytic tools that can help us to choose the right butter for a particular application.

Lift Tickets:
LISCC has secured a 20% off Winter Lift Tickets and Equipment Rentals Booking Code which will be available once you sign up on the Eventbrite form. Code is valid to Killington Resort and Pico Mountain as well winter tubing and scenic gondola rides at Killington Resort. This code is valid through your departure. Guests need to navigate to Killington.com, select Tickets & Passes or Lessons & Rentals, choose their desired dates and ages and load their shopping cart with their desired products. Click View Cart and in the shopping cart, enter the code in the APPLY DISCOUNT field and hit APPLY. You should see the discount appear in RED. Lessons can be booked in the same transaction, however, there is no discount on lessons.
CODE: Supplied on Checkout (no charge to receive the code)
Once guests complete their transaction online, they will be emailed an Order Confirmation with a barcode. They can scan that barcode at any one of our kiosks located at the entrance to all our base lodges. (Guests renting skis or snowboards may want to begin their day at Snowshed Base Lodge where rentals are located as well as the beginner ski trails.) If guests have been here in the past and purchase tickets in their existing account and also have a current RFID card, their purchase will be added to their card.
For guests who are Renting Equipment or taking lessons, those products will be loaded onto their RFID cards ( that contain their lift tickets) and they will be asked to present their card in the rental shop or on the mountain for the lessons. There is no additional “voucher” for rentals and lessons. Staff can see that a rental/lesson was booked onto each guest’s profile by tapping their RFID card on an RFID reader.
Remember, prices increase online as the arrival date approaches so please encourage guests to buy ASAP. There is a limited capacity for the # of times this code can be used and expires after departure.
We can’t wait to share this unforgettable experience with you. Make sure you book your tickets/hotel ahead of time.
