The blanket of snowfall, which prompted school closures and slushy roads throughout the Treasure Valley, brought another surprise to Paramount this week. The completely-drained south pond along Cayuse Creek was transformed into an unexpected haven for resident sledders and snowboarders! With disregard for well-intended messages on nearby signs, families are gathering at this new snow-packed destination to take advantage of the pond's open space and rolling slopes. "It's like a mini Bogus Basin, only without the sometimes-difficult drive to get there," commented one Paramount resident.
The wintry fun should continue through the season, with the pond scheduled to be refilled in springtime 2011.
