Winter sports enthusiasts in Northeast Ohio are in for a treat as two local ski resorts, Boston Mills and Alpine Valley, open their doors for the season, starting at 3 p.m. today. Alpine Valley is hitting a milestone with its 60th year of operation, and to commemorate this momentous occasion, they are offering a plethora of activities, including a banner break to celebrate the first chairlift ride, music to set the ambiance, and giveaways to make the day memorable, News5Cleveland reports.
Moreover, Boston Mills is raising the bar by staying open seven days a week, providing skiers and snowboarders ample time to carve out their adventures on the slopes of four open trails named Summit, Tiger Bunny Bump, Buttermilk, and Peter's Pride, not to forget pop-up terrain park features designed to challenge and entertain all skill levels, and this is all due, as Boston Mills shared via Facebook, to the relentless efforts of their snowmaking teams—the snow guns firing, working hard to open more trails as soon as possible, they say the guns are blasting and the work is tireless basically.
While revelers in Boston Mills can enjoy a diverse range of trails, Alpine Valley is not far behind, with three freshly groomed trails named Mill Stream, Exhibition, and Outer Limits welcoming guests.
