Late season storms have boosted spring skiing conditions at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion.
Friday, it boasted skiing across 33 slopes as well as seven natural trails not served by snowmaking, resort spokeswoman Katie Buchan said. She said the ski area is expecting good late winter skiing over an extensive trail network this weekend.
“We’re in very good shape. We’ll probably lose those natural areas as rain sets in over the weekend, but we have a really thick base and our target is to offer skiing into April,” she said.
Hidden Valley and Laurel Mountain ski resorts remain open as well, Buchan said.
“We’ve got three mountains and tons of trails and lifts open on each of them. Conditions are very good,” she said.
