Impossible not to have fun under sunny skies and skiing on awesome snow!

We had a fabulous weekend of skiing. The snow on the trails held up to the warm temps beautifully, creating fun and enjoyable conditions both days. Groomer Butch will snow comb all the skating lanes this morning. Conditions today should be good to great, with some fast spots under the big trees and in the lower areas. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch, and the demo center is open as well – stop in and get fitted for skis, then try them before you buy!

Upcoming Events:
