Up, up and away
All the trails at Oak Mountain Ski Center in Speculator were open this past weekend, for the first time this winter. That was a good thing, because skiers, snowboarders and tubers took advantage of the spring-like weather and terrific packed powder to play in the snow. Here a group of three skiers lowers the safety rail on a quad lift chair just after boarding for a trip to the top of the mountain.
