Congratulations and Happy New Year

First, I want to offer my congratulations to the five volunteers that passed their final test Friday and are offically members of the NSPS...........National Ski Patrol............after hours and hours of classroom training followed by hours on the slopes learning and practicing........a great achievement.........the five are Ken Slaba, Andrew Frost, Kris Schneider, Dillon Newbold and John Perry........the next time you see them or any of the now 28 Seven Oaks Patrollers, give them a quick thank you for their efforts and time........

......got this email this morning......."I just wanted to say, last nights New Years Party was pure Fantastic!!! What a wonderful surprise in Boone! I hope you do it again next year! We had a blast, the employees were fun and fantastic and extremely helpful! You sure got your moneys worth and Wow is all I can say! See you next year!!!"........signed Suzanne .....

....well first thanks to you Suzanne for coming to our first New Years Eve family friendly party and thanks for taking the time to send the email........our team loves the feedback.......and we love to pass it on to all them........your email was posted by the time clock this morning and it brought a smile to a lot of faces as they read it.........

.......the New Year party was a good time.........yeah, mother nature could have been a little kinder with the weather but a good time was had.........and the countdown in the lodge as the big ball dropped in NY was really cool...........but I probably won't pass out the noise makers as early next time.............LOL........

.......just as the ball dropped the snowguns were getting placed on the slopes........pretty much gave all the trails a light fresh coat of pure white snow.........wind was all over the place last night which helped spread the snow ..........everywhere.........but it sure did groom up sweet this morning..........I had to chuckle as I was in one cat I heard one of the snowmakers come over the radio and say temps were on the RISE........already up to 3 degrees this morning at 7 am......

.......temps are rising.......sun is brilliant today and folks are on the slopes.........great way to start the new year.........

Happy New Year everyone!
