With sunny skies and warm temps for over a week, talk of town is a repeat of last year's delayed opening. Consensus is that's OK if we get last year's quantity; who needs snow in November if we're up to our neck in it by January?
The ski area does, that's who. With a cut-back budget, reduced staff, and bookings far below average, a continual dumping of the white stuff would be key right now. Or as one of the higher ups told me, a national broadcasted Broncos game under snowing skies would increase bookings considerably.
The sunny skies are fading though, there's something storming over in Utah, and I noticed one of my Facebook friends in Oregon is "hunkering down, the storms have begun." So I have hope amidst my doubts of an opening in just one short week. Please do your snow dance with me... please.
