Snow is on my mind

How can you not be starting to think about the upcoming winter season with temps falling as they have the past few days? Crisp all day today........and cooler yet tonight........even saw some lows in the 40's coming up........wow......

.......got the layout for the second surface lift in the school yard done today.......I think the beginners are really going to like having two lifts in the yard........should make all the long lift lines go completely away........

.......also made a change to the unload on the Valley View chair lift.........built a flat ramp on both sides of the unload to give all the snowboarders a place to strap in out of the way of others unloading from the chair..........should make a nice drop off to start the run too.......

.......Monday and Tuesday of this week we got 20 truck loads of rock worked into the camp road........level.......flat.......well almost flat.........should be nice for the peak camp season next summer.........

........speaking of camping we got the additional camp site finished earlier this week too........and seeded just in time for last nights rain........this camp site will be for "quiet camping"........families, church groups, scouts, etc............we like it and hope you will too.........

......doing some negotiating on another snow cat........gonna have to move on this acquisition as the time is coming close to needing it..........it's going to be so nice having a second unit ........giving us more assurance we can always get groomed the way we like it........even if one unit breaks down........knock on wood.......

.....make sure you check out our web site for these all important dates......

• the five Fridays we will be open all day for ski and snowboard in 2012

.........kicking off the annual Dragoon River Romp Saturday morning........lots of volunteers on the water and on the land along the river doing river clean up........great effort............thanks to all the volunteers........
