Boston Mills-Brandywine Ski Resort Fires Up Its Snow Machines
This northeast Ohio hotspot for skiing and tubing has kicked off its snowmaking operations for the season with an opening date soon to follow.
It’s a seasonal milestone, like the buzzards returning to Hinckley each March 15 and the thousands of warblers that descend upon Magee Marsh each May ... except this one has snow cannons.
On Dec. 1, Boston Mills-Brandywine, the ski resort that operates two separate locations in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, announced it had fired up its snow-making system for the season and noted that the announcement of an opening date was soon to follow. The same goes for Alpine Valley in Chesterland, which is also owned by Colorado-based Vail Resorts.
