jan week 21
Mt Abram Friend,
 
Even though the natural snow has not found its way out of the sky for a couple of days, the cold temperatures have allowed the snowmaking team to keep covering the mountain with some great snow.  I took a little trip to inspect the coverage on "Fearless Leader" and there must be 20 foot walls of snow that our snowmeister Chris Knight will be moving around tonight!  

This weekend looks to have excellent weather along with some exciting events. We will be open Thursday through Monday, from 9am to 4pm to celebrate the Martin Luther King Holiday. Friday night in the Loose Boots Lounge, we will have a Prime Rib dinner special and live music. Saturday Night is "Kids Nite Out" with live music in the LBL for the adults.  The Westside will host a new food option this weekend as Chef Joel will be on the snow with his mobile kitchen making great treats like burgers & chicken fingers.  To wrap up the weekend, we will be hosting the Teledaze Celebration that lets you try tele skiing ( Lessons and Rentals for the price of a lift ticket. Check out all of the events below for full details.

See you on the slopes!
