MARQUETTE -- Marquette Mountain was giving some rail jumpers one last chance to get out in the snow Monday.
The ski mountain is making plans to put steel rails and box rails on the mountain for the more adventurous skiers and snowboarders. The planners had a meeting Monday night for the new additions and wanted the input of some of their own daredevils.
In order to get them to the meeting, they pushed leftover snow together and put in a rail for them to jump off.
"This is pretty sure the last time they're going to see snow for probably six months, unless they go to the glaciers out west," said Marquette Mountain General Manager, Vern Barber. "And that little patch up there is probably the longest piece of snow that we've got to offer them, so they can get some speed up and hit a rail or a jump."
All of the jumpers out on the mountain were high school and college students.
