Operators basking in snow for holiday winter sports
It’s the new year and the slopes are open for holiday fun. The last week has been dry and cold, so thanks to December storms there’s plenty of snow for winter sports fun.
Most operators are makings some snow in spots and grooming the runs. Meterologist Dann Cianca says there may be some fresh midweek snow coming up.
