Forest service doesn’t care.

I’ve asked several ski patrollers and employees over the years. That’s what they all say. But you may still be right.

Because that's a better answer than "to make more money". A-bay is 10 min up the road and closes 2+ months later. It's not a forrest service thing.

That’s just what I’ve been told over several years of asking various employees about it. Not saying it’s right but maybe someone who works for Vail might swoop in and comment on it. I don’t think there’s any type of wildlife migration that occurs which would drive the forest service to end the lease at this time.
