Replying to June Mtn. closing for the season!

Due to lack of snow, June mountain has only been open a few weeks and is already closing with no chance of reopening for the rest of the season. What is wrong with the world???
here's an email sent from the manager to local businesses-

"In my nearly 10 years here in the Eastern Sierra, this is the most difficult and gut wrenching decision that I have had to make.
The above average temperatures along with the very light snow pack no longer allow us to offer a reasonable quality ski experience.
We will close the ski area after the lifts close on Sunday, January 28. The long range forecasts are calling for continued dry patterns to remain.
It will snow eventually I am sure, though, after ceasing operations, we will not be able to re-open the area if and when sufficient snowfall finally arrives.
Mammoth Mountain will honor all “June Only” season passes at Mammoth for the rest of the 06/07 season. Mammoth Mountain will also honor and group business that has been booked for June Mountain.
We are all extremely cognizant of how fragile the June Lake economy is, and how important the winter season is to our businesses. We all worked closely together to develop programs and packages to grow visitation to our area. It was all good work, and we should continue working together. Unfortunately, none of us can control the weather. If you have and questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
Carl S. Williams, General Manager June Mountain"

Sucky for locals and stuff, good deal for those who bought 125$ college june passes that basically got a free mammoth season pass now. ugh.
