The ONE thing people look forward to when we roll into the winter season...

...(and I speak for many when I say this is ) skiing at Huff Hills in Mandan. The sweatshirts and jackets are here, but so far there is no snow - temps are starting to drop, and therefore it is almost time to "Hit the slopes" - Huff Hills Ski Area - 5455 County Road 80 is the address of a winter paradise. Earlier today I was just wondering when this place will be ready to go for another season, so I reached out and talked to John Thorenson - Base Area Manager. He was able to give me a target opening date.

John said, that of course, the weather is an issue right now - as soon as the temperatures fall below 28 degrees and 60% humidity, before we all blink an eye there will be powder on the ground and skiers will be having a blast.
