🌞 While summer sizzles at Big Powderhorn, our Hill Operations crew is hard at work prepping for another winter of fun! 🛠️ Ever wonder what goes into maintaining our 9 Riblet chairlifts? Today’s example: Each summer, we use around 14 gallons of all-natural castor oil to lubricate the wire ropes on our chairlifts. The summer heat today helped the oil flow smoothly! 🥵 One step closer in ensuring our chairlifts are in top shape for your adventures this coming season! Do you know why we choose castor oil? 🤔

Well this is interesting...forest bathing. Have you ever heard of it?

“Forest bathing” - the name comes from a Japanese practice called shinrin-yoku (shinrin meaning “forest,” and yoku meaning “bath”), which emerged in the 80s as a way to inspire people to disconnect from technology and the chaos of modern life and reconnect with nature. 🌳🌼

Want to try it out? Take a step outside and take in your natural surroundings. Breathe in the fresh air. Observe the different textures on the ground and in the trees. Listen to the rustling leaves, singing birds, flowing water. Let your mind surrender to the stillness around you.

This practice has been scientifically proven to lower stress levels, among other physiological benefits. While the term “forest bathing” is relatively new, the concept itself is rooted in centuries of indigenous wisdom - connecting with nature is good for us.
