It's Amazing

Well, the ice did come Wednesday and Thursday morning.....not as bad as south of here and west of here...........but enough.........and the good thing is........ when you spend about sixteen hours in the groomer again as was done Thursday afternoon and into Thursday night, one can do some amazing things to the two and more feet of snow that was encapsulated with ice like a cocoon waiting for the beautiful butterfly to emerge........except this was beautiful white snow that was in the cocoon.....ready to emerge.........and we are as a result open tonight.......with pretty decent conditions.........really, just plain amazing.



Tonight we have a nice attendance that includes a few groups here and also have live music in the lodge from a band that is into jazz..........nice.........and the Young Professionals from Boone are also here for a social event......with a meeting.......and I understand there is a "going away" party for someone in Coal Creek Lounge too.........don't know who is going or where but I would guess they do......


Now......what is the weather going to do tonight and tomorrow...?? Obviously time will tell.........but the tricky thing is when to get on it when the rain, that everyone is predicting, stops and temperatures change. We are NOT going to be open tomorrow which is Saturday.......darn it........as it is surely going to rain all day.......but then ......what can we do to salvage all our snow for Sunday......check back......too early to tell whether we can or will open Sunday........but rest assured if we can give you snow that you want.......we will.........have to wait and see.........



thought I would toss out a couple pics I took last weekend standing on top of the Cyclone chairlift........Saturday was a pretty day......actually Saturday, Sunday and Monday made up a pretty weekend at Seven Oaks.........
and this one too........
.......and a quick pic that shows two of our staff making one of many rounds to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes for all the customers......thanks Ken and Frost


check back and see you soon.....
