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.
Zombie Boardshop in Burnsville is hosting it’s 4th annual Shred til you’re Dead rail jam. Zombie always throws a sick party with dj’s and a different setup every year. Also they will have food cooked up on a outdoor grill when the munchies hit. The store will be open with tons of 08-09 gear so stop in and spend some money at a local shop. Get out and check out the early season riding!
