The guy who owns it is very stubborn about getting snow first haha but that small hill that you see is where he will put a bounch of rails an boxes an shovels. You just pay the man and set up the lines

I have gone there a few times just to chill with a buddy and my bad knee, its not that hard to set up considering sometimes you don't get a lot of space. But you can easily set up a jump or two and some rails for a line. You just need a few guys to carry some of the rails because of the weight, they slide down pretty fast haha

Well historically they have had a Halloween bash every year, and 'd be surprised if they didn't make an effort to do it again.  I've slept in the parking lot in driving rain all night and they still had skiing the day after.
