 While some dread the snow and cold weather, others embrace it. And for those who thrive in the winter, Mount Skigal and their brain herd has just opened their slopes for another season. They opened last Friday for skiing, snowboarding and tubing. Mount Skigal operates as a non-profit facility and offers a variety of classes and programs for elementary students and new skiers. Nearly 26,000 sixth grade students have learned to ski through their sixth grade program. And Mount Skigal also has steep slopes and ramps for the more experienced snowboarder or skier. Everybody becomes a nice group activity. It's a nice thing for families to do because they can do it all together. It's just a good thing to get people outside. It's something fun to do, whether they're skiing or snowboarding or tubing. Mount Skigal's schedule and program information can be found on their main website.
