Recently our family spent a few days on the slopes at Big Squaw Mountain ski area in Greenville and enjoyed one of the best skiing trips ever. Skiing there as a child and now with my father and daughter, the past memories and making of new ones have meant a lot.

I appreciate the new owners’ efforts to keep the mountain going. Trying to catch up with them was another story, as they were busy running the ticket-rentals register, helping skiers on the chairlift and greeting patrons as they entered the lodge. One could assume that it costs a significant amount of money every day to operate the facility and that the daily revenue doesn’t quite cover the costs, and that seemed like another reason to thank them for keeping the mountain going.
