Plugging Along

Today is Tuesday, December 13 and we're making good progress on the monster list of things to do.  We got the plow truck and 2 snowmobiles back from the shop and ready to go to work once it snows.  Meanwhile the shuttle bus and 2 other sleds went into the shop at K & K Repairs and Heid's Hodaka for a detailed maintenance visit.  In other news, the lumber for rebuilding two bridges arrived and so did our Ski Director Jay DeJesus today.  He came up from PA and arrived at nightfall.  We met for a while and talked about staffing and trail maintenance tasks.  Jay is pretty excited about the changeover and we're ready to start getting the Ski Shop in shape for the season.
There were three newspaper articles published today that focused on GHL and the future.  Here are some links if the stories will stay available:

There should be more published in the next few days.

This is a photo we took for placing in one of the news articles.

Work on cleaning the dining room and kitchen is on-going for this week.  We'll be concentrating on putting up Christmas decorations towards the end of the week.
