MARQUETTE – Supervisors, patrol members and equipment at Mt. Mesnard are ready for the season, but the municipally-operated ski area won’t open until more snow accumulates. Should eight inches or more pile up in Marquette by tomorrow night, however, Mt. Mesnard will open Sunday, James C. Engle, city parks and recreation director, announced the first of the year. Engle said a fulltime voluntary ski patrol will be on duty all hours the area is in operation. Althea (Scotty) Rossi of Marquette is both ski patrol leader the hill supervisor. There are two rope tows at the Mt. Mesnard ski area.
