The best way to describe this place is like a big skate park on snow.

Those trails receive a lot of traffic and less natural snow, ... We experimented last winter with airless guns and long hoses and showed that with even a little bit of snowmaking, we could make a huge difference.

We're hoping the snow melts off the track so they can start running out there.

What, Rudolph wasn’t available?

We're looking to get comfortably through April. As for May, we'll see. Last year, I made turns on this hill on May 15 on all-natural snow.

That's just a crazy idea, for a ski area to wait that long to have a grand opening, and we kind of get a kick out of it.
