Seven Springs Mountain Resort has been battling the weather like all of our local ski resorts this year. Recently, some additional snowfall has aided them in winning the battle. And it comes just in time for the big annual celebration.
This weekend is the beginning of Seven Springs’ Winterfest. The cooperative effort with Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV Channel 4 is celebrating its twenty-fifth year. The activities begin Friday, February 17, 2012 and last throughout the weekend and end next weekend. There are a variety of activities in the snow and on the slopes. The event also includes live entertainment, family activities, and many more activities for the entire family.
