Good morning skiers & boarders,
Big Day. The moment of truth has arrived. The infamous Lift B (aka Furano Quad) whose demise caused so much congestion last season begins operation today. I've been assured by the head of lift ops that everything is 100% A-OK. Let's hope so.
Also in the news is that Night Skiing begins tonight on the Prince Romance chair next to the New Prince Hotel.
Umm, that's all for now. Forecast calls for snow Sunday thru Tuesday, so that's good.
Think snow.
