Good morning everyone,
Another fine spring day today.
Lift News: Lift E at the tippy top, along with the snow escalator at the bippy bottom, have been closed for the season.
Yesterday was the annual Pond Skimming event, and 56 swimmers tried their luck. Most didn't make it across. It was great!
The resort is still planning to operate thru May 6, but that will be updated as April progresses.
Enjoy.
Think snow.
