on fightning Ma Nature, the fabled little hill just outside of Richmond, the birthplace of several Olympian's and medals, all from the same family is raising $400,000 for a snowmaking system. You get a very good view of the place as you are coming into Richmond on Rt 2.

Drove up to Montreal and back which takes you by Hard 'Ack in St. Albans. They were blowing snow on Saturday! Looked great. I believe their equipment came as a donation from Smuggs.
Glad to hear that Cochran is going to bite the bullet. It's a great family place and a great place for kids to learn. I think I'll send 'em a check.

agreed! It's a GREAT place to learn and a great "feeder hill" for other resorts in the area. I took all of my ski lessons there when I was a kid!
