I'm pretty sure it's because of the winds. And that is saying something they work the lifts during some crazy wind storms.

I forgot to add, ww have not detaching lifts at our hill too, and we have ran them in like 70mph winds, but it was just so stupid. Boarders on a lift with wind speed over 55, are in serious danger of being pulled from the lift and/or knee injuries, which the mountain would be responsible for. us as skiers have it a bit easier, but still why would you want to ride in that?

i was there all day and it was a combination of the wind and the 3/4 inches of freezing rain that we got the night before.

Sounds like prime Ice Coast skiing conditions. I couldnt imagine being on the lifts with gusts reaching 70mph!
