Ray Gardner Quotations

Last year was a tough year for everybody in the Northwest, and we were already closed at this point last year. And we have a ton of snow on the ground now.

My goal is to operate on weekends through April, but the number of skier visits will dictate how long we keep going.

March and April are traditionally big snow months. And then you also get the nice sunny days in between, so spring skiing is my favorite time of the year to ski, and hopefully folks take advantage of it.

We'll have enough snow to run through June, but ultimately, there has to be (skier demand). Spring is my favorite time to ski but most folks seem to want to do other things.

It's probably not our strongest year ever, but it's above average. Hopefully it's building momentum for another great year next year.

On a year like this, we have enough snow to ski until June, but it's a matter of interests. My theory is, when the lawn mowers come out, it's over.
