Snow Christmas eve and Christmas day was a real blessing.........that and Joel grooming it in from 1 am to 5 am before returning home for a quick snooze and opening gifts........
Saturday was wonderful.......blue skies, calm winds........and Saturday night to get another 3 inches of powder was a real bonus.
Set up Saturday night to make snow.........and then.......
I arrived at Seven Oaks to find Joel and Kris already in the shop........been there since 1:30 am .......working on a major breakdown of the snowcat......which got fixed and running at 8 am......but wait there is more........had a snowgun tip over in the middle of the run at 2 am so it was of course shut down.........so we got the gun righted, then removed it and all the other guns from the trails.......then started grooming........ready to open at 11.......
I sure am in no position to make any negative comments about the snowgun as I have done it twice in the past couple years myself......ooops! :)
that is not an everyday start.........thank goodness........but it can happen.......and does.......but our job is to keep it behind the scenes and ready to welcome you to Seven Oaks. Thanks to a great staff at Seven Oaks.......we got thru a rough start by everybody doing their thing and getting all the issues addressed.
What a great group we have at Seven Oaks.......and to hear it again and again from people who I don't even know.......saying great tubing staff.......great ski and snowboard instructors......such a helpful bunch operating the lifts and in rental.....the food service group always has a smile......your ticket people sure know what is going on and are so patient......really..we do hear it a lot......and ......it warms the heart.....
Sunday was also beautiful on the slopes........
gotta go........

Thanks so much for leaving the fresh powder on the side of the freeway and the drop zone on Sunday. It was a real treat.
