Conditions improving by the day and Poma lift issue

Snow conditions are getting better and better every day and with the cold temperatures more runs are coming soon.  We are blowing snow to finish the main full width and to finish some of the jumps for the terrain park.  If temperatures we should definately see some more terrain in a day of two.

Please note that the Poma surface lift servicing the Learning Center will not be operational today. Lift Mechanics discovered a mechanical problem which was causing significant wear to a key component of the lift. Continued operation in that state would have caused irreversible damage and a very costly repair. The decision was made to remove from service and get it fixed immediately. We expect it back in service sometime tomorrow or Thursday.  It was a tough decision but in the end there really was no choice.  Our friends at Ro-Von Steel are completing the necessary repairs and lift mechanics will get it back in service as soon as the component returns.

We have been asked to use a snowmachine with a rope to pull skiers up the Poma but this is unfortunately not going to be possible.  There are simply two many risks in doing that with beginner skiers and snowboarders and particularly small children.  If you have ever seen the number of people falling off the Poma lift on a normal day you can image the problems that may occur with pulling people on a snow machine in close proximity to one another.

Remember we are open all week 9:30 am to 9 pm.
