Big Snow Year for Ski Bluewood

DAYTON-Kim Clark, General Manager of Ski Bluewood, said business over the holidays has been booming. "There are lots of guests. Everybody's happy," he said.

On Monday morning the day was sunny with 60 inches of fresh, packed snow at the summit, and 54 inches at the base.

"We've had 142 inches so far this year, and we're not even a month into the season," Clark said.

Ski Bluewood achieved its earliest opening in the past five years, on Dec. 9. The ski area 22 miles south of Dayton returns to its regular Wednesday through Sunday schedule this week, and will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

Clark said that Ski Bluewood will also be open for President's Day, Feb. 20.
