Mountain Ops: March Update

Mountain Ops: January Update
We're starting off the new year with great ski conditions, despite the lack of natural snow.

Our team worked on the snow as of 4 p.m. on March 10 and started by attacking beginner sections to end their intensive work in the steeper slopes. The intensive grooming blitz…
