Local skiers and boarders now have the opportunity to experience snow under the stars and ge their fix day and night. Chapman Hills rope tow is now in operation from 4-8 p.m. Mon. - Fri., and noon - 8 p.m. Sat.-Sun., giving local enthusiasts as well as regular 9-to-5-ers some after-hour thrills. The community ski hill includes terrain park features such as rails and kickers for the daredevil set, as well as a groomed lower slope for those suited and booted for the first time.
