Some things rolling up on us quickly…. The 13th, 14th and 15th of this month bring the annual Ski Swap, Open house and this year we strive to make it also more of a “Winter Fest” on Saturday. To that end we have USA Cycling Cyclocross race (KBSKI.com has the details) kicking off at 11am with the elite men racing at 1pm. Some of the top racers from northeastern US and Canada will be on hand. Also the return of the pre season rail comp using whatever snow the boys can find will happen Sat. afternoon. ( I am awaiting details on this event, but I trust it will run much as it has the past two seasons.) The Lake Effect and Harvest Room will be open serving up a full menu including a great big ole fish fry! A vintage ski equipment museum is setting up shop in the Central Ticket Center Saturday with a nice selection of vintage and unique equipment as well as some vintage posters for sale. Of course the big draw is the savings at the swap to benefit the KB Ski Patrol. Should be a fun weekend to be sure and the Lake effect will rocking all weekend long! 

What else is new… Lots more horsepower for the snowmakers, thats a good thing to be sure! Holly should be able to go form NO to SNOW in just a few days once the temps drop. And from there the snowmakers will just keep adding terain faster than ever before. The Park manager is back at it, starting today and I will be hitting him up for any news on features and plans for the coming season.

I have been told that operations is commited to opening the North Area (weather and snow permitting) on weekdays this season, starting at 10am and running through close. Weekends of course have never been an issue. If you are one of the luck few who can ski Monday-Friday the addition of the northern slopes being open prior to 4pm should add a lot to your day! We offer some great weekday packages and weekly specials through the season at “Cornell’s Corner”

Check out the specials listed now at KBski.com.

The Edge Of  Never is in town this friday and is not the same old thing. Most ski porn is just that, porn. Predictable, on formula, really bad music, and boring after about 3 minutes.
 this is a documentary of a son challenging the terrain that took his father and while it contains some great skiing footage the fim goes much deeper than that. Watch the trailer and learn more here.
