When I got up this morning I didn't know whether to rake my lawn or go skiing. I'm happy to report that skiing was my choice and along with several friends I enjoyed an amazing day of skiing with perfectly groomed trails. My skiing at this area dates back 50 years to the Thunder Mountain days. Since that time, I've... More
