Everyone enjoyed the conditions and friendly atmosphere of Thunderhill.<\/p>\n

The day started with an Easter Egg hunt for all ages. Eggs were hidden all over the hill for skiers and snowboarders to retrieve and claim for a prize. Another attraction for the day was the “decorate your helmet” contest. Fantastic prizes encouraged a great group of unique head gear to maneuver the slopes. <\/p>\n

The highlight of the day were the races on Crossroads and the Main hill. These attracted skiers and snowboarders to either defend their title, or capture a new claim to fame! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When all was said and done, everyone had a fabulous time, many laughs, great visiting, and a fantastic day for Mardi Gras. <\/p>\n
