Quick update and Billy Kidd.......

......yep.........the conditions Wednesday night and Thursday night were awesome.......and a lot of you came to enjoy it........ powder is not an every day occurance so it was nice to see everyone enjoy it..........and it was nice to get the thanks we got for not grooming all the trails......leaving the powder.........

.....today we had school groups here from Coon Rapids and from Fort Dodge.........weather and snow were both great........tonight should also be terrific..........

.....I wasn't around much after we opened Wednesday and wasn't here at all on Thursday so I didn't get to hear much about the changes made to Willet's Way and the Rail Yard.......hope it is liked.......and we will make more changes as we progress along .......

....wanted to remind you that we are open Monday, January 17 for MLK Holiday......10 to 6........that is in addition to our normal hours today, Saturday and Sunday........

.....next time you are in the lodge check out the skis that were mounted on our wall with a plaque that tells a little about them........they were made special for Billy Kidd in his pursuit of Gold in the 1966 World Championship..........as it turns out these 227 cm skiis were not used by Billy due to a leg injury he sustained so he gave them to a partner of his at the time, Gary Kingham who did race with them..........I can't imagine trying to turn those bad boys........ Gary is now a local in our area, skis here........said they performed best for turning at about 60 mph......he thought the skis deserved more visibility than what they were getting at his house..........thanks for sharing them with Seven Oaks......

......more snow in the forecast which is a good thing........right?.....see you on the slopes.......
