Little Smoky Ski Hill Slush Cup
The 2010 Little Smoky Ski Hill Slush Cup was held on March 28. About 30 competitors were up for the challenge of skiing, boarding or
otherwise transporting themselves down the hill and over a daunting pool of frigid water. The annual event is held as a wrap-up of the ski season,
and is well received by people throughout the region. The event was just one of the features highlighted this year. In addition to the Slush Cup, the
ski hill proudly welcomed the addition of a tube run that has been a highlight at the hill this year. More pictures are available on pages 12 and 13.
