I talked to TBB. The illegal trails were maybe 10% of Snow Summit's decision. The real reason was that massive lawsuit by the paralyzed rider went further through the court's than SS was comfortable with. This scared them, they looked at the paltry $$ DH brings in and closed down. Trust me if 200 or 300 DHers showed up every summer day, SS would reopen in a second.

Last summer, I would go mid-week and there'd be maybe 10 DHers. So the real problem is that there are just not enough of us to matter.

You know what 200-300 is like right? I'm pretty sure that is more than a full blown race day. We have a LONG way to go until even 100 every day.

200-300 would suck too, i couldnt even imagine the lift lines!!

I don't even think 200-300 DHers would help to get the Summit to re-open. The owner of Snow Summit stated that he did not want the hassle, because "we are a winter ski resort, not a bike resort." Once he said that, I knew Snow Summit was a lost cause...
