Before the season gets away from us (and that would be winter) I wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to all those who made the incredible 2015 year at the Snow Bowl possible. As one who was only vaguely aware of the details of the redesign and reconstruction, my interaction was simply as a snowboarder who could not get enough of the exceptional experience of skiing the new terrain.

And seemingly, I wasn't alone. I shared dozens of lift rides with people from away who were gobsmacked by the quality of the skiing, the views of the ocean and the can do attitude of the skiers and staff at the Snow Bowl. The "word" is definitely out. Can't wait to see what changes are still to come. Our friends from away are all angling for a winter invite now.

Many many thanks to those who had the vision, the will and the tenacity to make these changes. What an incredible asset to the area. A tip of the "ski" hat to all of those who conceived, advocated for and implemented the renovations. My family and I can't thank you enough!
