Ski Areas Closing
The world is ending. With record snow the Colorado ski areas under Vail Company control will close on Monday. That is most of Summitt Cty. That will be an economic blow of the first order.
|
Alterra Company announced suspending operations tomorrow morning. This includes Winter Park & Steamboat. Big blow to Colorado’s economy.
|
So far everything is open in Montana. My brother works at a ski area and is hoping they stay open, otherwise no paycheck.
|
Alterra Mountain is the company that now owns Mammoth Mountain. Yes, it's closed too.
Big Bear too. Just when they would be getting a lot of snow. |
Just saw Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Mammoth Mountain are closing. Not sure if others will follow.
|
All the Utah resorts too. Tomorrow.
|
Many of the resorts in VT are closing, too.
|
We are in lockdown now here in France. The ski resorts are the least of it. No more cafés or restaurants. Of course the fresh markets and supermarkets are open. We have to eat, you know - it's France. Priorities...
|
Are the markets still open St. Cirq? I read that they were closed as well.
This virus is going to cause a lot of financial hardship for most sectors of society, Bezos excluded. Things are still open here, but I expect restaurants and bars will be closed later today. Belgium has closed theirs so the Belgians are just crossing the border to go to Dutch ones. Not very helpful. |
Yes, heti, all the markets are still open. My husband went to the one in St-Cyprien this morning and reported that there was quite a crowd. The supermarkets are also still open, though they are closed this afternoon because it's Sunday. I can't see the fresh markets ever closing - our nearest town just celebrated 700 years of its Tuesday market without ever missing a week!
|
As of this morning Mt. Bachelor (west of Bend OR) is closed for the next week. We'll see if they reopen next Sunday or Monday. So far, St. Charles Medical Center has one confirmed case but more are expected soon.
|
Heavenly Valley at South Shore Lake Tahoe is closed as well at Boreal Ridge and Soda Springs, smaller resorts at the summit of HW 80 between Sacramento and Reno.
|
Every place Alterra Mountain Co. owns.

Son and family will be disappointed, yes, outdoor skiing is healthy, but then there's the lodge issues. He wonders what to do with teens and 10-yr-old son home for few weeks! But in SoCal, there's always the beach.......

colorado ski areas close
Just heard from our family in Colorado. More bummers
|
Not just Colorado... All resorts owned by Vail and Alterra are closed. Something like 50 nation-wide.
|
Mammoth Mountain in California is closed, saw it on the noon news.
|
The biggest 3 resorts here in WA have closed too.
|
Two similar threads have been merged.
|
I think all of the major Oregon ski areas are closing. Mt. Hood has three that are closing until March 23 with review at that time.
