Letter From the GM – Best Run of My Life​

After breaking the winch cable, and with just hours to spare, all the operational details came together Sunday night

Yikes that sounds dangerous

Okay so today was a lot of fun. Trails were perfectly groomed in the am and no ice was seen all day.
Checked off all my goals today. Start on the low end. Finally hit up the j bar. Oldest overhead lift any where. Interesting as it does not retract and is rigid. Cable is like a foot over your head. My taller buddy hit his head on the wheels!
Hiked up the to the new terrain. Even with the fresher snow it was scrappy. With another couple of snow falls it would be better. Fun to check it off though.
Skied just about every other wooded area. Some had better coverage than others.
Then the ladies hit up the alpine cabin for some mimosas and fondue when we did the hike to stuff.
Met them there for a beer and Eric was djing. Fun again! I’ll post pix later.

I was there as well. Took a couple family members for their first time there. They couldn’t stop raving about the place. Never managed to take a hike up to the new terrain knowing it might be a bit out of their ability. Still a great time!

What was the hike like ? How long did it take ?

Took 10 minutes but got stuck behind some slower folks.
You start going down a 30 foot slope then it starts out mellow then once above blackout it steepens for the last 150 yards.
