No, the snowmaking guns are not going yet. But, as we head deeper into fall, ski resorts have many Fall-type activities taking place. Last week I told you about several of these great, family oriented activities, and with peak color approaching over higher elevations, I have lots more activities to tell you about this week.

Bristol Mountain - Canandaigua, NY
The fall colors are arriving early this year at Bristol Mountain.
Bristol Mountain is starting to show hints of yellow, orange and red hues, especially along the new Lower North Star that was added this summer. Mountain Manager, Ken Keenan, commented, "Our mountain crew has worked very hard this summer cutting and developing the new 2,300 foot, intermediate, trail which will debut during the 2010-11 operating season."
When asked what's new for the Fall Sky Ride season, Frank Ricco, Food and Beverage Manager, replied, "Anyone proposing on the Sky Rides this fall will be met at the top of the mountain by our staff with a complimentary champagne toast to celebrate their engagement. We have already started receiving calls." He adds, "The Sky Rides have become a very popular place for couples to get engaged. Anyone interested in proposing should contact Mr. Riccio at 585-374-1180. This offer is limited to those 21 years of age or older.
The weekend weather forecast is calling for typical fall like weather which is perfect for leaf peeping. Sky Rides will operate on weekends from 12noon-4pm concluding on October 31st. Prices are $9 for adults and $6 for children (3-12) and seniors (65 & older). For more information call 585-374-6000 or go to the website at www.bristolmountain.com.
