week 3
Mt Abram Friend,
 
Today our forecasted dusting of snow end up being 6 to 8 inch of light fluffy powder.  To everyone that headed south early you really missed out on a great day of powder skiing Mt. Abram. This week another storm is scheduled for Tuesday night so lets hope for similiar results.  Snowmaking will continue this week starting tonight with plans to resurface terrain at Westside and the Main Mountain before the week's end.   

This weekend is chalk full of excitement with many events on tap.  Friday will be the kick off with Friday ight Lights from 5pm to 8pm and a Prime Rib dinner special in the LBL.  Saturday will be the Snowmobile Hill climb and night tubing from 5pm to 9pm.  Sunday is the "Mt Dew vertical challenge".   Check out all of the events below for full details.

See you on the slopes!
