Gunstock open to sleds April 7 & 8. $30 per sled. Good deal!

Open to sleds? Neighbor works there and says it has been a sheet of ice for some time now. No snow left in my yard or surrounding woods, temps forecast to be at or near 80 next week should be interresting.

but it sounds more like grass, stump jumping sledding more than just fun of snowmobiling on ski trails to me.

Probably an attempt to recoup some lost revenue from this extremely bad year we had for winter sports.
I saw 80’s for Wednesday last night, but now they are only showing 70’s. Still by next weekend I think most of the frost will even be out of the ground in this area.
Our sleds get summerized next weekend and the ATV's come out and sit till May. With this early spring they might open the ATV trails early this year.

Bad info. I called Gunstock today. They have no such plans to open the hill to sleds. Got me excited there for a while.

I talked with my neighbor tonight and he said they were in fact planning on doing it. They even had a course picked out. It would have gone up one trail and down another, all other trails would be off limits.
But as mentioned there probably will not be any snow left on the mountain by then anyways, and the liability has to be a big consideration.
