Winter has arrived! Ok, so it’s not exactly winter yet but skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing season is right around the corner. As many area ski resorts prepare to open for the 2013-2014 season here’s an update on opening dates. Most resorts will have limited trails available and will not be fully operational, and you will not have access to all the trails. Snowtubing will not be available at most locations just yet.
ALPINE MOUNTAIN
Recently purchased Alpine Mountain will be not be opening until December 20th, 2013. Considering it was sold at auction in September, it’s good to see that it will at least be operational for the 2013-2014 season. http://www.alpinemountain.com

I am looking for decals, logos (past and present) from the following resorts: Camelbacl, Shawnee, Jack Frost/Big Boulder and Montage. Any help would be appreciated thanks!!!
Andrea Kimes says
We grab them from existing media (usually websites), most have logos on their websites if not, the resort/ski area followed by “logo” in Google will usually bring up most.
Ex: Camelback Mountain Logo: https://www.google.com/search?q=camelback+logo&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=NOPTVNLRA_i1sQS7iYLACQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=965#tbm=isch&q=camelback+mountain+logo
Also, if you want high resolution versions for print/etc. I’m sure you could reach out to them directly individually via their websites, many have “press” sections or contact that I’m sure would be more then happy to help!
Hopefully this helps you 🙂
