Joel Kraus with the city of Durango Parks and Recreation Department walks through a cloud of ice crystals during snowmaking operations Friday at Chapman Hill. Recent cold temperatures are ideal for snowmaking, Kraus said. The city plans to open the in-town ski hill Monday using the little rope-tow. The larger rope-tow, which was cut earlier this month, is expected to open Thursday.
