Forecast Change

During these radical weather times, I track the predictions of four weather stations and without exception, all four have changed their forecast for this weekend starting Sunday by dropping their daytime highs by anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees lower than they were all saying yesterday...........thank goodness........who do you trust?

We did decide to remain closed today as we know the snow will survive the 60 or 70 degree temps better if it is not being skied..........and once again I am glad we have all north face slopes.............

All the trails are still covered this morning despite the strong south winds, increasing temps thru the night and never seeing close to the freezing mark yesterday......here is the plan......

Tonight when we see the lowest temps we will have.......whenever that is.........and whatever the lowest temp is.........some say 30 degrees and others say it will be higher..........we are going to get on the snow with both cats and get snow to the unload ramps so they can be rebuilt tomorrow morning....... we will push snow from the reserves to cover any weak spots....... and we will groom. When we open tomorrow at 10 am it should look pretty darned good for you.........

.....now a couple pics......from this past weekend......





......we have a lot of people take advantage of our birthday parties........and while this young lady didn't do that........her husband brought her to Seven Oaks Saturday to celebrate her birthday.......I know the number but won't share it with you........and surprised her by having her parents and his parents and siblings from Omaha already in the lodge.......


Happy Birthday..........and we will hope to see you on the slopes tomorrow.......
