The Thunderhill Ski Area held the grand opening, ribbon cutting ceremony of the Co-op Community Magic Carpet ride trail this past Saturday (Jan. 31). This exciting addition to the ski hill makes learning to ski easier, and more fun for their youngest riders and beginners. Pictured here, the first users of the Magic Carpet ride test things out.
