He didn't have good news. He said that language to include a long term operating permit for the Blue Hills Ski area was not included in the 2007 budget. Something about the Speaker not wanting to make policy by using outside sections in the budget. He said the Reps and Sens from the area are on the same page as the DRC as to the need for a long term permit to make long term improvements possible. Also said they will submit the bill again next session. Next spring we will have to swamp the State House with support. 'Til next time.

So does this mean Raggeed still has Blue Hills for this season? __________ www.slopemonkey.com

Here's hoping for a good natural snow year for the metro Boston area, to help Blue Hills (and lots of other areas too) find success and happy skiers!
