Newsletter this week delayed because of issues with our server and technical issues…..don’t you love technology…This winter surely has been tough for ski mountains. Good news the River has received 30 inches of snow in the last week, the bad news Wednesday’s storm of 15 inches was mixed with considerable amount of rain, got another 6 inches of snow Saturday. What this all means is skiing continues to be “variable”, “interesting” and challenging at times. It’s nice to see the mountain getting back in shape, and they are working so hard after the calamity that came upon it in the last month. Good news – new terrain is opening up continuously and snow making whenever possible.
