Can’t Blame the Virus Anymore | Many Major Resorts Would’ve Officially CLOSED Last Weekend

It’s been a month now since the ski season in North America was brought to an early and abrupt end. We resent the virus that has cost us four weeks of spring fun. However, this weekend and the last marked the OFFICIAL end of the season for many of the country’s major resorts, such as Jackson Hole, WY and Aspen, CO and the coming weekend would see even more closing. Ski season is coming to its natural end, we can no longer blame our invisible enemy for why the lifts aren’t turning.

The vast majority of ski resorts in North America would have closed for the season yesterday April 12th, 2020.
