Ski Swap

DURING A Saturday ski swap at Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Ironwood Township, infant August Watts checks out skis with his dad, Kevin Watts, of Bessemer. Proceeds from the swap support the Ironwood Red Devils ski team. Slope lovers are optimistic for a snowy season. Although some ski hill managers like to open on Thanksgiving Day, the weather is always the deciding factor. As of Tuesday, snow and temperatures near zero were forecast to start about a week before the targeted holiday. Another photo from the ski swap is on page 11.
