We are looking forward to a great start of the season with more snow in the forecast we are excited for a snowy ski season. The mountain is looking wonderful, the staff is ready and we cannot wait for the smiles of our skier and snowboarders to hit the slopes!, states David Smith, Powderhorns Marketing Manager.
