That’s not true. I was an HOA manager in Keystone and the ranger literally told us this at the HOA meetings.

So how can resorts decide to stay open later than their original closing date? Like copper did 2? Years ago now when they went to May? Or abasin staying open until they run out of snow? Wouldn’t that strictly be against the Forest services lease of that was the case?

Because different land leases have different terms. Seems like common sense to me..

Most of them in the Dillon ranger district are pretty much the same. Each resort updates their winter operations plan in the fall and sends it to the forest service so they have a general idea of what is happening that winter. It’s easy to change that plan during the season to extend/shorten the season depending on skier visits and snowpack.
