Our boss went to bat for us to try and get them to open just for the Halloween event. Even with 40 riders saying they would attend, they still wouldn't.

Guess they care a lot about their customers, eh?

They are business people, it's all about the $$$. They want to make sure they can be ready to make the most ski/snowboard money. They probably profit more in one good weekend skiing then the whole summer of biking. When I was up at Blue a couple weeks ago a guy who worked their claimed they make enough money in the first weekend of night skiing to power the lights for the rest of the season.

All we can hope is that ridership continues to grow and the hill owners see the value in bike programs.
