I know that it has been far too long since you have had the pleasure of greeting our visitors.  Thankfully, your wait is over.  Heather will be taking some well-deserved vacation in the last two weeks of December and the first week of January.  During that time, we would like to keep the Visitor's Center open as much as possible in order to greet those visitors hardy enough to venture up into the mountains in celebration of the beginning of Winter.  We hope that the snows will come and Ski Cooper will be hosting hundreds, if not thousands of skiers and potential tourists.

During this time, it is my hope to have the Visitor's Center open from 10:00 until 2:00 each day.  The following are the days that we wish to be open during her vacation:
     
                             Tues          Wed          Thurs          Fri          Sat
December               18             19              20              21           22
                                                    26             27              28           29
January                                       2               3                4             5   

Please let me know what days or portions of those days you will be able and willing to help.

Thank you,
