Holiday Rates for Snowtubing Fun!

Well, we hope this past week has been as much fun for you as it has been for us! With being the first to open in Ohio, by almost a week, it shows we're working hard for you and enjoying this early season skiing and riding just as much! This was sort of a bonus week, because we're just now to Kick-Off Weekend! Tonight with temps in the high teens and a nice west wind, snowmaking will continue on the Alpine, Rustler Bypass, Double Cross, Pine Alley, Alpine Cross, and Pine Cone Slopes, as well as in the SoBe Park! With lot's of things happening for Kick-Off Weekend, as you can see from previous blogs, we're happy to announce tomorrow at 4PM we will open the West Woods Triple Chair to give you access to the freshly groomed Alpine and Rustler By-Pass Slopes!

For those who are anxious, the bigger better parks should be up and running by next weekend. The deal is one must first understand how much snow is needed just to cover the entire slope with a good three foot, or so, base of snow, plus then throw all the snow needed to build each and every feature on-top of that...trust us it's a ton and a ton and another ton of snow to be made! We know you're excited and appreciate all of the feedback we've received on our Blog Comments so far! We're working hard to make enough snow to put in the biggest and best features you're looking for, so hold-on a bit longer- you'll be glad you did! New features being thrown-into the Salomon and SoBe Park mix: 30ft T-Box, 20ft T-Box, Quarter Pipe, 30ft Down-Flat-Down, 20ft Flat-Down, and 30ft Flat-Down! The seventh and final new feature will be placed later in the season. Most likely the 20 footer's will be used in the Salomon Park and the 30's will be in SoBe...time will tell! The parks will be there before you know it! As for now, the Terrainasaurus Park is the little brother getting picked-on, with big traffic and some smooth tricks being thrown over there...

The crew is setting the features now...the Terrainasaurus Park area will play host to a few more Intermediate features than it's used to, just until we get the Salomon and SoBe Parks set. This should get you off those school and city building handrails and your make-shift PVC pipe rails (we love your enthusiasm for the sport), give you a lift to ride and a bit of steep for a run in that you don't first have to shovel snow onto, only to then be pushed by a vehicle to get enough speed to enjoy the ride. Theirs enough snow for your skis to go ahhhh, compared to the urban scene landings there used to- without the parks reading OPEN! Get out here and git-it!

Opening day couldn't have been better! Amazing natural and machine-made conditions, pretty much the best an Ohio skier/boarder could ask for...we'll pump-out the snow again tonight, spread, groom, and be ready for opening at Noon tomorrow. Check-out Sunday's Specials...see you then!

For all of you who have that "Let's Go" itch, we're making it happen way earlier than expected! With superb snowmaking temperatures yesterday at 1PM we were able to launch full snowmaking force onto the slopes and parks all making it possible to set Opening Day for this 2008-'09 Season! Tomorrow December 6, 2008 at 4PM we'll be the first in Ohio to open and will offer our Mt. Mansfield Slope, Beginner Area Slopes, and possibly the Competition Slope! Stay Tuned...
