I am delinquent

It has been a while since I posted so I thought I had better get one done. Normally I don't post during the summer months as much as I do in the winter but we'll see how it goes this year. First a couple of pictures taken last weekend......kinda sad huh?...........but some of you are probably a little surprised as to how much snow remains on the trails.......even with the warmer temps and a couple of showers........


even some remnants of the pond skim still showing.......was that a hoot or what......the video is on our Seven Oaks facebook page..........

.....from our perspective it was a great winter season. Mother Nature did us well........in spite of closing five days on three different occasions due to inclement weather.........the frequent snow from the sky was very cool.......and it made grooming a lot of extra fun as well......I kinda think most of the great snowfall was due to our sacrifice of skis and boards that were made to the Snow God in early December at our Friday after Five.........well........maybe not......but we are going to do it again in December........or maybe even November 2010.......

......so speaking of Friday after Five......our April event is coming right up........Friday, April 2nd.......Grand Times Catering and live music.......
Have another ISU house party this weekend.......and the first wedding reception is coming up in the lodge in another three weeks......
Getting the winter stuff put away and getting all the summer stuff out and readied for a great summer of fun.........
......and one more thing before I sign off........
The Old Man has decided to spend MORE time at Seven Oaks and has subsequently decided to leave my job of forty one years........yep that's 41 years.........effective May 14........pretty darned exciting if you are ME........
see you at Seven Oaks......

You know it's getting close don't you.......

......and I know you know the end of the season is getting close cause so many of you came last night and again tonight to get more skiing and riding in before Mother Nature takes it away from us for another nine months..........come to Seven Oaks this weekend for spring conditions........long sleeve is optional........

.....it has been a fun one!

Let the Countdown begin......

There is a good chance that tomorrow and Thursday will be the last time this season we are open on Wednesday and Thursday nights........not for sure.........but good chance.........you can know for sure by checking our web site or calling our voicemail message at the lodge........

........but it looks like both nights should be great spring skiing and riding this week.........

......and it is getting close to the annual Spring Splash........fun for everyone.......even if you are not on the snow you can come watch, have a burger or brat to support the National Ski Patrol volunteers......listen to the band.......or have one of the drink specials that we will be offering........and the pond skim is a hoot........don't want to miss this one......

.....been working on all the spring, summer and fall recreation offerings.......making changes as necessary.........will have all that posted on our web soon too.........camping, paintball, river floats......biking........]

geez........it really won't be long before we are in the full swing of all those fun outdoor activities ......and yep, the phone is ringing with reservations already for the river floats.......

....pretty well along with the themes for the spring, summer and fall Friday After Five events too......a couple of change ups from what we have done in the past.........check it out on the web.......

Got one or two more schools coming to play on the snow yet this winter.......and this weekend should again be great......but the countdown is definitely in process......if you haven't been here yet.......or if you haven't had your fill of riding........get er done......there is still time......

I have heard what Ken has planned for the events during the Spring Splash.........first time for those and they should be crazy fun........no entry fee.......just have your lift ticket to participate.....

see you at Seven Oaks........
