Summit Boardshop in Lake Elmo will be hosting a rail jam directly behind their shop this Saturday. The setup looks sick and there is a $1000 grand prize. There will be a cap of 100 riders so register early. The first heat will start at 1pm and the final jam will be at 6:30pm. Call Summit for more details or check our event section.
Well Afton Alps and Buck Hill are now officially part of the open for season crew. Check out their websites for their current hours and amount of runs they have open. Both places will have a few features setup to cure the boredom of 1-2 runs… Get your early season shred on.
Thanks to a solid day of cold weather, Trollhaugen and Wild Mountain will both be opening one run today November 10th at 4pm. Wild Mountain originally opened October 28th but was forced to close after one week due to warm weather. Well they are back on track so get out their and support your local hill. Keep an eye also on Buck Hill and Afton who have been making snow as much as possible. You can check out the action on their webcams. See you out there.
It feels good to wake up to our first morning of real snow coming from the sky. Many people made it to Wild Mountain when they had the early season one run tease open, but now here comes the real thing. The temps are also supposed to drop this weekend so let’s keep our fingers crossed for some good nights of snowmaking around the state. Keep checking the resort websites and rideMinnesota will definitely let you know who opens first again. Pray for snow!
With a few successful nights of snow making, Wild Mountain will open today at 1 pm! Keeping with tradition Wild Mountain is once again the first area to open in the Midwest! Special thanks to Amy for sending over pictures throughout the process. Check out their website for more details and a view of the action on the webcam. The price for the day is $16 which is a steal for some early season shredding.
