SNOWMAKING IS UNDERWAY!

At approximately 7:30pm (December 4, 2010) we fired up our snowmaking equipment for first time this season! The weather looks good for the week ahead, the ski season is fast approaching.

We are currently making snow on the Standard run, the Main Terrain Park, and Bunny Blvd.





Our Administration office and Retail store are open 7 days a week to serve you. Christmas is coming, ski passes and equipment make GREAT GIFTS!

The slopes are calling,

Cheers,

Thank-you for another great year.

The last day of the season always stirs mixed emotions in me. On one hand, life gets a little more normal but on the other, the excitement of the ski season is over.

I received a lot of positive comments and "pats on the back" today for the management of a less than stellar season weather wise...I always greatly appreciate these comments, but I pass a huge amount of the credit onto our hard working team of staff.

A special thank-you to our Management Team...

Dave Chatterton, Facility/Lift Maintenance Manager
Doug Taylor, Grooming Manager
Linda Schaffer, Administration Manager
Jayne Fisher, Snow School Manager
Jim Bell, Proshop Manager
Kori Killen, Food Services Manager
Dave Rutherford, Snowmaking Manager
Stephan Horn, Terrain Park Manager
Tim Stezik, Risk Manager
Teresa McKenna, Marketing and Promotions Manager
Kassie Glasbergen, Lift Staff Manager

These folks along with their staff met the challenges of this season head on and pulled off another quality year of skiing and snowboarding for our members and guests.

With snow falling from the sky, and drastically lower temperatures than we have seen in the past two weeks we wrapped up the season with a splash....a splash in the waters of "Lake Brimacombe" that is!

Here's what went on...down by the lake.















I was fairly dry until Josh decided to reduce his chances of rehire ;)



It was another SEASON in Paradise,

Have a safe and fun summer, see you next season.

Cheers,
Mark Rutherford
