Poma - back in operation. Vandalism on the Mountian

Slightly warmer temperatures today which should make for a very comfortable day on the mountain.  Conditions continue to improve and snowmaking is going all out.  We expect to see some more terrain opening on Friday.

Special thank you to our lift mechanics Karl Hult, Justin Peters and Jim Mealey for their hard work in returning the Poma lift to operation.  Also a huge thank you to RoVon Steel for an incredible turn around on the repair.  The Poma could have easily been out of service for a week if not for their hard work.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

On a very frustrating note.  More vandalism of chair seats on the Triple Chair occured over the past couple of days.  Profanity was found punched into the seats with the tips of ski poles.  Damages are approaching a thousand dollars so far as each cushion is over 100 dollars to replace.  We ask your assistance in keeping a look out for individuals causing this damage and ask that you please report any suspicious behaviour to a staff member. 

Searchmont welcomes Laurentian University for their five day ski program with the Searchmont Snow School.

Thank you and see you on the mountain.
