Testimonials from skiers and customers

happy skiers

Hello Everyone and especially Bob, A quick note to let you know I skied the Birkie on the Atomic Team Classics I bought from you via the Internet.

I am 68 years old and am an old motocross motorcycle racer with the bad knees to prove it but our phone conversations got everything dialed in correctly for me and I got my first timers medallion. Both my … [Read more...]

Wednesday April 3, 2013 We had quite a few skiers yesterday. So many that we are going to be open all day today too!

Today: Flurries or snow showers possible early. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 38F. Winds NW at … [Read more...]

Cross Country Ski Report – Thursday, March 28th, 2013

NOTICE: If you're wondering why we're still sending ski reports, it's because we still have skiable snow! Once the snow melts, we will sign off our daily ski report and only send out new posts for special events and sales. Looks like a sunny spring skiing day. The trails are crusty in the morning, but after being Ginzu groomed by Stu the skating lanes are really fun. Once the tracks warm up in late morning, classic skiing is very good till … [Read more...]
