It's extremely sad to see my hometown mountain shut down for the season and it is taking a huge hit to the economy of the town. As you drive through town now, it feels like a complete ghost town.. All the employees are moving away, no cars on the streets.. It's completely dead..
The thing that's the most messed up about this deal is that the company gave the employees less than a 1 day notice that we'd be out of a job for the rest of the season.. We were really busy and open on saturday the 27th, when all of a sudden, employees were told, "we're closing tomorrow"
With less than a 1 day notice, employees had no choice but to pack up their bags and leave..
What's even more messed up about the situation is that we could have pulled through this dry spell.. If they were making snow for the runs covered in dirt patches, rather than making thousands of cubic inches of snow for the 1/2 pipe, we would have it made.. But as of now, a MASSIVE pile of snow sits in the halfpipe, while all of the snow on the runs is melting away into huge dirt patches..
What's most sad to me though, is it feels like the spirit of june mountain is gone.. It appears that all that matters to the company is the bottom line, and that anyone who could have made a difference doesn't even care..
