WILDWOOD, Mo. — The leaves are changing colors and that means colder weather is on the way!
Hidden Valley Ski Resort has been looking forward to the cooler temperates so they can start blowing snow.
Although the weather has not been ideal for keeping snow on the ground, Hidden Valley snowmaking and grooming teams have been planning and preparing to get the slopes ready.
To make snow, the workers will feed compressed air and water into the snow-making machines. The machines propel that into the air, and it falls as snow. The goal is to always have a base of at least 12 inches.
“We are excited to welcome back skiers and snowboarders this season. As one of ten Vail-owned resorts in the Midwest, it’s great to offer options to snow lovers to ski locally at Hidden Valley," said Pam Hoye, senior communications manager.
The tentative opening date is set for Dec. 19. The tubing hills will open up at 5 p.m.
