Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. We’ve got so much snow, we don’t know where to put it! 44 inches in the past week and 70 inches total in the past two weeks!! This means 100% of our trails are open. The Groomers and Village Services have been busy moving the snow around. Note to Experts – Bootleggers was groomed/winched for today’s skiing and riding pleasure.
