Uhh... ok. Its may 30th, and they just got an inch of snow... with about 20 runs open. They own the land, so they dont abide by the forrest service regs on closing times, and theyre always open as long as they have snow.

Just discovered theyre closing on june 5th... like a week from now, and i have no idea why... anyone know why theyre closing so early?

probably like most places. when the seasons wind down people lose interest and when there arent enough people to make it profitable to keep the place running they close. costs alot to run a mountain everyday

they had like 2 people die on an open run because of an avalanche just like a week or something ago! pretty discouraging for people to want to pay money to go there. so umm..that could have something to do with it. tis a shame

it was only one guy from boulder who didn't even have a chance. and i don't think it deterred many people. you should have seen all the drunken debauchery on sunday. soooo many people and soooo many dogs.
