From a safety and family-friendly standpoint, it was no longer an event that felt good to us. We also wanted to look at an end-of-season event that could have broader participation. |
In this extreme cold, we run our high-speed lifts 24 hours a day just to keep them chugging along and avoid any start-up issues. |
Our average season-pass holder paid $14.64 per day to ski or snowboard Big Mountain. That is an incredible value. |
The visibility was good and the light was good. There were no weather issues going on when the accident occurred. |
We're probably seeing about half the normal visits. |
What we'll hope to see, coming off a fantastic winter like this, is ... an increase in destination visitors next year. |
While we are sure that some people will be disappointed not to see the furniture races, we think that pond skimming will be an equally hilarious event. |
