SOUTHINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — Mount Southington is looking to get into the Guinness Book of World Records Friday. Their goal is to be part of the world’s largest ski lesson at the same time.

After a tough start to the winter, with mild temperatures and not much natural snow, the crew at Mount Southington have the snow machines cranking out as much snow as they can make as they enact their plan to make history. More than 160 resorts across the country will collectively attempt to set a world record for the largest ski and snowboarding class.

Mount Southington attempted to set that record last year, which currently stands at 594 people. That record was set in 2008 in Switzerland.

Registration begins at 9:00 a.m., with the record attempt beginning at 10:00 a.m. The cost is $10 to take a beginner lesson and be part of the record setting class. The event is sponsored by the Learn to Ski and Snowboard Organization.
