Back up to the hill in a few. Life is good.

Windy here in T-town, too. The lifts are pretty protected at Sundown though. I wouldn't worry too much.

It takes a LOT of wind to put the lifts on wind-hold, especially lift 2, which is pretty well protected by trees.

Stop posting the same thing right after me! :angry:

I think it has to be REAL windy for the lift to be put on hold there.

Just stay home and you won't have to worry about anything.

IIRC, they've always closed early on Christmas Eve...or at least, the entire time I've been skiing. This isn't anything new. Same with being closed Christmas morning and opening later in the day. It's actually a really nice thing for employees at a family-run hill. Most people who work seasonal jobs don't get to spend time with their families on the holidays because where they work is open.

Agree it is a VERY nice thing and rare in the industry... thats why I had the winks and the joking reference to Pat Riley- who makes 6 million a year and was complaining about having to work Christmas... while most seasonal workers have to do it all the time for considerably less.
