Opening Day is just hours away and we have been very busy getting everything ready for you.  Ian, Shawn and Samantha have the Retail and Rental Shops full of new gear and freshly tuned equipment.  Lots of new faces in the Food Court and Swig N' Smelt Pub under the direction of Roland Riendeau , the new Food and Beverage Manager.  Mark, Kris, Roger and Anne have the Ski and Ride School ready to go with great new programs for the season, if you have not already signed up for the Season Long Programs do it today.  The Day Care Center with Jessica at the helm is ready to welcome our youngest winter enthusiasts. Mountain Operations has snow guns blasting out piles of snow on Upper and Lower Grey Ghost, Royal Coachman,  the Wheeler slope and Freerider Terrain Park.   Snowmaking temperatures are forecast through the weekend.  Next to open are Green Weaver and Royal Tiger.   We expect to have some new features up in the Freerider Terrain Park this weekend.  Excitement is building!  We can't wait to welcome you back to Saddleback.
