Do you have any comments?

This ski season opened mid December and had a terrible time getting the weather to make snow. We had a total of 14 good snow making days when a good season would be approximately 30 days of snow making. This why our water usage is much smaller than years past. We could not get past our mid station lift ( 5 total slopes out of 17 ) for over 1/2 the season and then only 2 more slopes to the top. Total of 7 slopes max out of our 17 possible.
