The mountain is hopping this week as Loon accommodates large groups from other area mountains that unfortunately closed early due to un-seasonally warm weather two weeks ago.  With some surprise snow-dusting and TLC from Mother Nature and magic performed by Loon Mountain’s tireless snowmaking staff last week, Loon currently has 26 trails, 181 acres, and 12.5 miles of skiing open for the time being.  Incredible!  Many thanks go out to Loon Mountain for prolonging the 2011-12 ski season as much as they can.

This weekend looks to be a really fun family weekend (see Springtime Fun! post from earlier this week), and we have gone ahead and discovered some other activities you may enjoy as well.

Mother Nature teased us a bit last week with our 75 to 80 degree weather, and it seems that Spring is giving in to another bout of chilly weather before it settles into its normal range from the mid-50’s and lower 60’s.

During that bout of summer-like weather, however, we couldn’t help but wonder if Udderly Delicious – one of Lincoln’s ice cream hotspots – would open to the public, offering at least a cone or two.  Well, that early bird dream is about to come true, with Udderly Delicious opening Friday, April 6^th!  Other than being closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, you can enjoy early summer fun from 12pm-8pm any other day of the week!
