The snow groomed up beautiful this morning. Started at 5 am and got done about 9:45..........and then about 10 am.........when we opened...........the wind really picked up .........but only for about 30 to 40 minutes............then settled down to more of a breeze. Must have been a front coming thru that stirred things up for a little while. The snow was awesome..........really soft. Tried to push some snow above the two jumps in the park where the riders all check their speed and took it down to hard pack but the snow on the side where I was with the groomer was so deep and so powder I almost got stuck.........which isn't easy to do. So I didn't have much success but will try again.
Good group on hand enjoying Seven Oaks today. And we have the Late Nite at 9:30 tonight......fundraiser for the Cancer Society.........hope you can support them with your presence.
Did you notice the "no parking" signs on the fence immediately after you get off the new chairlift? Heard a few ask why those were there since there were no cars :) well .......the intent was to make a statement that we need the riders to strap in a little further away to avoid congestion for others unloading from the chair.
Had a nephew from Indianola come up today with his three kids. Oldest is considering Iowa State in a couple of years so I asked her to spend some time with our board instructor Morgan to get the low down on being an instructor at Seven Oaks while she is in college.........perfect.....for her, for her dad and for us.
Have about 5 birthday groups today...........if you don't know about it, you should check it out on our web as it is a really good deal and a novel idea for the young ones for their birthday party........ski, snowtube, rentals, lessons, pizza and pop........and when I am lucky they share their birthday cake with me!
Enjoy Winter........
