Swiss Valley in Jones stoked to ski later into season with ample snow


A few red-winged blackbirds and a flock or two of sandhill cranes arrived over the weekend. Maple sap was running. Like usual for the start of March.
But it still isn’t a usual winter for ski resorts. If it were, the downhill season at Swiss Valley Ski & Snowboard Area in Jones would toast its finale this Sunday — typically a week into March. Instead, spokesman Mike Panich says the resort has booked its “Slush Cup” contest (a sort of farewell party) for March 14 with the option of staying open even longer if the weather permits and visitors keep coming.
Snowmelt or not, the resort recently looked more like it was ramping up operations, not chilling out, stoked by the momentum from a super-busy season when weekend ski rentals often ran out. Jamie Stafne, who oversees operations, says this season’s attendance will surely “blow the record for the past two decades.”

Two popular ice rinks in New York City's Central Park will stay open through the end of the winter season after city officials decided to let the Trump Organization finish out its contract.
Sunday was supposed to be the last day of operations for both rinks -- Wollman and Lasker -- after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced New York City would end current contracts with the Trump Organization. The company previously had a contract to run both ice rinks as well as the carousel in the park and a golf course in the Bronx.

Two ice rinks will close their season early in Central Park following the decision by New York City leaders to terminate contracts with the rinks' management company: The Trump Organization.
New York City owns both rinks -- Wollman and Lasker Rinks -- and announced it would end its contract with The Trump Organization after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The NY Post first reported both rinks will close up shop on Sunday instead of operating into April as expected.

HOHHOT-The Greater Khingan Mountain range in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region is the coldest region in China during winter, with the temperature dipping as low as -40 C.
In the stadiums of Yakeshi, a city of ice and snow, Wang Quanli has become the brightest star on the ice rink.
"Wang has come here every single day this winter, which is admirable," said Zhang Jian, a local ice skating coach. "He has become one of the best of the elderly amateurs. Nonprofessional skaters can hardly tell he's a double amputee."
