Fireworks!, Torch run, cider… family, valentine’s lovers What an amazing time had by all at bolar ski hill this past evening, hundred of people all enjoying everything just really made me stop and slow down rather then the crazy rat race we call life. Normally displays of fireworks of this magnitude are associated with Victoria Park on Canada or in Port Stanley however the idea Bolar mountain and staff put together yesturday and with that combined with skiing for the day just made a fantastic time even grander! Those that don’t know, yes London has a ski hill and it’s located in Byron a smaller sub community(which I can say is very good for small restaurants) just off London bordering spring bank park. Bolar has been in the community for as long as I can remember and some where along the years I kinda forgot about it. Yesterday I didnt even strap on skis or as snowboard I simply watched people enjoying the festivities and family fun times, also appeared to be an abundance of valentine lovers on the slopes as well which I’m sure made for their special times. Bolar is an exciting place actually and even has chair lifts and bunny hills for small children, ski/boarding lesson daily, restaurant or canteen. Many runs to try out for the younger family members but even for adults as well. As for me I’ve lived in Jasper, Alberta and this doesn’t compare to mountain skiing however it’s so much more then that as for half the price and travel one can be shredding the sloops and having a hot chocolate with there kids in as a little as 30 mind from the front door of their own home in london. Ah well I carried on about this establisbment more then maybe I should have but where else do you find fireworks and this family fun mid February in London, Ontario… Hopefully they can build on this and keep it family oriented and fun. Pros — Local, snow making, machines, stellar staff Cons — Small
