Video: Ski conditions deteriorating amid warm winter

THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE EITHER
CLOSED OR ARE THINKING ABOUT
CLOSING.
>> IT'S NICER TODAY THAN I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, NOT AS
SLOPPY AND MUSHY AS I, YOU KNOW
SLOW AS I ANTICIPATED.
LOWELL A HANDFUL OF SKIERS
: ENJOYING THE SLOPES TO
THEMSELVES OUT AT ROUNDTOP
RESORT MONDAY FRUSTRATED WITH
THE SKI YEAR SO FAR.
>> IT WAS GOOD FOR A WHILE, AND
THEN IT'S BEEN UP AND DOWN ALL
YEAR.
LOWELL RIGHT NOW, ROUNDTOP HAS
: 16 OF 21 TRAILS OPEN AND AN
AVERAGE BASE OF LESS THAN 21
INCHES.
SURPRISINGLY, THE SEASON IS
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR BECAUSE
THEY MANAGED TO ESTABLISH A BASE
EARLIER.
>> THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY
GOOD AT THE MOMENT, IT'S NOT
GOING TO BE A GANGBUSTER YEAR
BUT I THINK IT WILL END UP BEING
A DECENT YEAR.
AT SISTER RESORT WHITETAIL, MUCH
OF THE SAME STORY WITH 16 OF 23
TRAILS OPEN, BUT AT LIBERTY THEY
ARE HAVING TROUBLE
THEY ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE
TO POOR CONDITIONS.
LIBERTY'S MARKETING MANAGER TOLD
US OFF CAMERA THEY WILL BE
MAKING A DECISION LATER IN THE
WEEK AS FAR AS WHETHER THAT WILL
BE A PERMANENT MOVE.
THROUGH AN EMAIL, SHE WENT ON
SAY "OUR SISTER RESORTS ROUNDTOP
AND WHITETAIL ARE STILL
CURRENTLY OPEN AND WE WOULD MUCH
PREFER THAT THE FOCUS OF ANY
COVERAGE WOULD BE THE FACT THEY
ARE STILL WELCOMING SKIERS
SNOWBOARDERS AND SNOW UBERS."
AND AT WISP IN WESTERN MARYLAND
THERE WAS BAD NEWS.
THEY DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS
SUNDAY WITH THIS MESSAGE ON
THEIR WEBSITE
SAYING DUE TO THE HISTORIC,
UNSEASONABLY WARM RAINY WEATHER,
CONDITIONS HAVE DETERIORATED TO
A DEGREE THAT WISP RESORT IS
CLOSING FOR THE SEASON.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HIT THE
SLOPES ONE OR TWO MORE TIMES
THIS WINTER, WE HAVE ALL THIS
KEY REPORTS ON OUR WEBSITE.
