An Extra Special Opening Day at Hardwood Ski and Bike

GM Gareth Houben credits his trail crew for getting them to this point

Back on Christmas day an accidental electrical fire at Hardwood Ski and Bike caused about $1 million dollars in damage. It was that blow paired with a prolonged winter and last weeks windstorm that made Wednesday’s opening day extra special for General Manager Gareth Houben.
