A lot of people can't ski and they prefer to go sliding. It's not expensive. Eaton Mountain has been a success for the Kents since they purchased it prior to the 1993-94 season. After purchasing Eaton Mountain, the Kents added a snowboard park with a halfpipe. Almost half of its customers are snowboarders.
Tubing gives customers yet another option.
Mary Kent said that customers seek variety when deciding where to spend their winter recreation dollars. If we offer them, they'll come back and try them. A new T-bar is scheduled to open during the middle of the upcoming season. It will serve both skiers and snowboarders. With one chair lift, a rope tow and 18 trails, Eaton Mountain is considerably smaller than many ski areas in the state.
