Another Season Flies Past
Today is the last day of normal operations for the 2010/2011 season. We are then closed, and only open on the weekend of April 16th-17th and the 3 day weekend of April 22nd-24th. It is a common cliché that “time flies when having fun” but the speed at which this season has past implies that it has been unbelievably epic. It’s that time of year again when the spring conditions on the lower mountain puts everyone in the mood for summer, but a ride up the Stoke throws you back into the days of waist deep snow and endless winter.
As the snow piles up during the weeks we are closed, the weekends on which we open will be filled with soft, deep powder. Knowing that this luscious deep snow is waiting for you on the weekends should hold off the snow-lovers summer blues a little longer, making the wait until next season a little more bearable.
Recently we’ve had some great spring events with everyone dressing up and getting into the spring-time spirit. Both Retro Day and Denim vs. Suits Day saw some great costumes and some awesome live music. It appears that everyone loves to throw on an old school all-in-one and rip down the mountain on a pair of straight skis. We have a few more events on the way, and we look forward to hosting the 4th annual Stoke to Spoke (April 24th 2011). Keep an eye out for the Events Summary Blog once the season has ended. Until then enjoy the last few days on the hill, and make sure to jump at any opportunity to get up skiing/riding, because once it’s gone it’s a long wait until next winter.
