As Utah's mountains have continued to receive snow, some are questioning why some ski resorts have elected to close for the season while others have extended their seasons. It really comes down to one thing: employees. JennaBreeTV
“We just always close, and then we open it up for backcountry skiers," said Andria Huskinson, Communications Manager for Alta."That's just kind of what we've always done.”
“We have a lot of employees that live up here, and so they kind of need to know, like, 'Okay, I'll be here from November to April,'" she said."The lodges, they have a lot of seasonal workers, so it just kind of makes it hard for everyone.” “Snowbird really is a 365-days-a-year operation up here," said Sarah Sherman, Communications Manager for Snowbird."We're really lucky to have a lot of staff that stays not just in the winter, but also through spring, summer and fall. So for their employees when the snow stops and the lifts stop spinning for skiing, they're still up here.”
