The three FREE-HEEL Fridays we did get were magical. Being on snow was dreamy and uplifting! 

We extend our special thanks to Robert & Sarah Huter, Andre Huter & Jim Morris of Mt. St. Louis Moonstone Resort for the MOST AWESOME of EXPERIENCES!!!

Please join us for Free-Heel Fridays at Mount St. Louis Moonstone commencing March 5th. Please remember to pre-purchase your lift ticket. Covid Protocols are in effect.

The following video shows the Covid-19 Protocols in place at MSLM in December 2020.

A Fellow Free-Heeler took action, created this video clip to bring awareness and attention to the HUGE investment and efforts taken to protect and serve the snowsport public to keep us out on snow!!!
