Hemlock opens this weekend!

Friday, December 10th, 2010

With 36 straight hours of snow fall earlier this week, the slopes at Hemlock Valley Resort are open and ready to be carved.  All lifts will be in operation Dec 11th and 12th from 9am – 3:30pm with the Tube Park open 11am – 3:30pm.  The resort opens full time for the holiday season Dec 16th.

After ripping it up in fabulously fluffy snow all day who has any steam for the long drive home.  Only 20 minutes away, Harrison Hot Springs offers a good night’s rest and loads of village charm.  Check out the Harrison Beach Hotel’s Ski and Soak package or the Executive Hotel’s Ski and Stay package.
