Closing Boxes at night

[baller24nick]

Hey i was wondering why you close down some of the boxes at night? like the 2 boxes on the bunny slope have been closed twice now when i went for a night session.

Good question.  When the entry, exit, or the feature itself becomes too worn out, we close it to prevent guests from getting hurt.  This tends to happen more when the snow is soft and sugary (like it is now) as apposed to when conditions are packed and hard because the repairs/maintenance doesn't last.  In other words, when the snow becomes granular, a half hours worth of raking can be blown out in 5 minutes so the feature is closed until we can rebuild the feature overnight and give the snow time to set up.

Hope that helps.
