 With the coldest and snowiest winters still happening, Buna Vista ski area in Bemidji is taking full advantage of the snow. The ski area was closed for a couple of days during a January snowstorm, but say the rest of the winter season has been really great for business. Unfortunately, we were closed for a few days for the cold spell and our snow definitely has held in there, so we're hoping to have a great march and be open until the end of March. Many schools had to reschedule their visit to the ski area, and today the ski resort in Bemidji welcomed many out-of-town schools to enjoy a day of skiing and tubing. Different schools around the area enjoy the day at Buna Vista every year as part of an annual ski day that schools put together for their students. Great opportunity, you know, there's not very many students that get the opportunity to come out here. You know, it's not kind of a recreational thing that they'll do or choose on their own unless they, you know, unless they're enticed to do so. So, you know, this gives them an opportunity that maybe they'll never have in their life.
