Скачать или смотреть Boston Mills struggles with lack of snow as Brandywine, Alpine Valley remain closed

It's a slushy but fast course at Boston Mills in Summit County, because fresh snow has been in short supply for the resort.

"Fresh powder is, like, really nice to glide on," 23-year-old snowboarder Chewy Chew says. "You can see that the [fake] snow they make, it's just a little but more slushy-like."

Chew tells us the staff at Boston Mills works hard to "make sure the conditions are necessary for you to have some sort of enjoyment," even though the region is currently down nearly 12 inches of the real white stuff this season. At times, it has not been easy for General Manager Jake Campbell and his crew.

"We don't quite rely on the natural snowfall; we do make snow at any opportunity we get when the temperature does drop," Campbell stated. "We cant make snow when it's 50 degrees. That was tough. The snow does melt quite a lot."
