bigdaddyk Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I just checked onthesnow.com and Alpine and Shawnee are still listed as open. I looked at each website and their websites still say they are open until the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Wow, Shawnee still is open. They really dropped off the face of the earth this season, last season they were buzzing all over the place with their park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librider Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 April 13th BB is closing I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightEmpire Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 April 13th BB is closing I believe. Yeah, I was pretty bummed when I heard it, I thought they were trying to make it up to mayday. If they get really low on snow towards the end of the month they could have pushed out the jumps and make 2 or 3 rail lines down boulder park.

I think it has to do with ticket sales not the snow situation. There will be snow on that mountain till june. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Snow is almost never the reason a resort closes. It costs a lot of money to keep a resort open in the Spring. Spring skiing, in PA at least, is not marketable to people buying single tickets (aka noobs). Probably close to 80% of the people skiing there are passholders anyway, nobody is going up and buying a lift ticket. To the general population, skiing is not thought of this time of the year. Most people think about skiing between MLK and President's day weekend, which is resorts biggest paydays. To keep BB open, they need to: Pay Employees - Lifties, Sales, Groomers, Ski Patrol, Park Crew Cover Expenses - Electric to run lifts, etc, Gas to run groomers, work trucks, etc Pay Insurance Thats a lot to cover. It's not that BB is losing money persay, its that they dont want to run the RISK of losing money. Right now I'd say they're pretty close but still profiting. In a few more weeks, it's very possible that they might go into the reds and they dont want to run that chance. Once money is lost, its lost and nothing can be done about it.
