Water, Rain, Snowman, Otto

You might have been hearing on the news about the water mains that broke in Boone a couple days ago that forced water users of that system to implement a boil your water order ..........but.......good news.......Seven Oaks is on the Ogden water system so we avoided all that hassle...........whew.....

.....was told that the DSM area saw some freezing rain yesterday afternoon.........understand it was brief but caused some headaches........we only had snow from the same system......light flurries then big flakes for a while.........we avoided that hassle too........

......had Tater playing guitar and singing in the lodge last night........he does a really good job.......

.....got a pic here that demonstrates the artistic abilities of one of our lifties........Mr Snowman (who is only about 8 inches tall) will be on site to welcome you at the Cyclone Chairlift...........til it gets warm one day........

.....some of you know him as Otto......the bus driver.........some of you know him as Chairlift Tony.....and others it is just Tony......our friend...........well, he went thru his surgery in DSM and is now HOME....recovering.........great news........

.....did you know we have a team member with the last name Frost and another team member with the last name Snow.......true.........very fitting that they are at Seven Oaks helping with all our winter sports.........now we need to find someone with the name River or Kayak to work here this summer........

.......snow groomed so great last night..........got a little bit of a late start due to a mechanical issue with one of the groomers........but Kris and Frost got it repaired and we were able to groom last night instead of this morning.........wrapped it up at 12:30 and still got a full nights sleep........the snow was so powder soft that the tiller box was more than full all the time..........and you know that is going to leave sweet cordouroy........

......forecast still has some snow for Monday and Tuesday..........already had some flurries this morning too.........one more time I want to remind you we are open Monday for MLK day.........from 10 am to 6 pm.........

.....one of my granddaughters had her tonsils removed Thursday.....welcome to the world of ice cream, popcicles, juice......etc.......oh she wants to come to Seven Oaks sooooooo bad........but she must stay in where it is warm and keep relatively quiet........what is relatively quiet for a four year old?......

......lots of groups here the next couple of days so I reckon I should get off the computer and do something constructive.........eat........

.....see you on the slopes......
