Still making snow today.....

and waiting for the sky to open up and dump on us as well. The gang has been busy getting all the required signs posted on the new chairlift, getting the fence erected at top and bottom, getting the load and unload ramps built and getting the final lights installed and wired. While that is going on lots of snow is still being pushed out, most of the guns are running on tubing so it can be open Friday night, Dee is taking calls and walk ins, two schools are scheduled to be on site tomorrow morning but we'll see if that happens or not based on the "storm" that is supposed to hit us soon with snow.

So as you can see everybody is plenty busy.

Next week we will concentrate on the final two runs.......Central Park and Kenzies Korner.

Haven't talked to Ken to see if he plans on planting more features in the terrain park tomorrow or not.

Got lots of retail merchandise delivered yesterday as well as the Seven Oaks beanies.

Our buddy Todd left for Ohio this morning about 4:30 am........anxious to get home after 43 days of installing a chairlift.

later and keep it white.......

Wow! I never thought moving to Iowa would feature a ski resort just down the road from where I live! I have been to your place a handful of times and it is awesome. I go to Colorado a couple times each year and I am still impressed with this elaborate set-up in the heart of Iowa. What even stokes me more is that the operation is proliferating! I am very much anticipating the luxury of a second triple chair this winter. Thanks for all your great updates and documentation; I check it daily. With that, the only other thing to be said is.."Seven Oaks, You Rock!" Come on WHITE!

Just a suggestion but you guys should somehow get some rider input on your terrain park. I have worked park cutting before and you guys could really improve a lot with the resources you already have. Its all just about the set up and location. just a suggestion because i love your place i would just like to see some terrain progression.
