mountains close even if they have a high base, the skiing wolnt be too good and nobody will book vacations there. not nuff people = not nuff money = not worth it to keep open from a financial standpoint = early close
dude i ski at a area were a BIG crowd is 1000 people and averge can be around 500 to 700 people. we have five chairs all used doubles. we could stay open with the amount of people who have been showing up
everywhere in montana is about to close in the next couple of week. its been a very good season for up here. but come memorial day the beartooth pass will open. and for all of you who havent skied it, you must. its THE SICKEST!!
