A ski resort is a business and must make a profit. Otherwise an “Out of Business” sign will be hung and all that beautiful snow will not be enjoyed by many. Keeping those lifts running, making sure that access roads and parking lots are clear, getting the rental shops and stores fully stocked, food must be delivered on time, getting quality employees that show up on days of two feet of fresh powder, getting advertisement out to the public, dealing with pass holders that forgot this and that, and the list goes on and on. Like a farms, ski resorts are at the mercy of Mother Nature. This has been a tough year for the resorts. Hopefully they all can hang in there and hang up a sign at the end of this year that says, “See you all on opening day for 2012/2013!
MauiSkiBus skied and participated in a post ski day sweep with the ski patrol.
Some resorts have terrain for all levels of skiers, some lean on the beginner side, and some lean on the expert side. This bowl of snow that MauiSkiBus found leans on the latter and what a day was had. In the western heart of Montana is a mountain bowl of snow that will create, mold, fine tune, and develope good skiers. In fact, when MauiSkiBus visited the ski patrol hut on top, an invite was given to ski with the patrol and find some secret stash. Steep and deep was the tune of the day skis heard and the patrollers heard wild Maui sailing songs uttered their way.
Awesome rocking chair at the Montana Snowbowl lodge.
Point the rocker tip down to the bottom of these expert slopes, where one will find a rocking lodge, with a rocking chair, awaiting you in front of the rock solid fireplace, and make sure that you pay for that whiskey on the rocks. Montana deals justice the Montana way and Montana Snow Bowl deals skiing the expert skiers way. Brad and Andy, have a bowl full of running this ski show high above the Missoula basin. When you drive up here with your dears, be aware of the deers, as curious critters they are.
No mess up in Montana.
