Ski Trip!


November 12- Even though it hasn't been snowing this week, the crew at Toggenberg Mountain has been hard at work.

They're getting the ski trails and snow making guns ready for when the skiers show up. Today, they were taking four wheelers up to the mountain's summit, and fixing the mountain's snow-making hoses. The crew are using the sunny days to get work done

"When it's raining out, it's hard to get the sleds up, but when if there's rain, it's really hard to get them up".

Two weeks ago, when it did snow, the mountain held "Rail Jam". They built a terrain park on the mountain, and according to their website over two hundred skiers and snowboarders alike showed up, and showed off their moves on rails and new boxes.

But, right now, the grounds crew is taking care of business today, getting the sleds for the snow making guns ready. This involves welding, hammering, and dragging the sleds up the mountain behind a four wheeler.

The crew expects to have the mountain ski ready in a few weeks.
