Business definitely goes down when there isn't a lot of snowfall. When people don't see snow in their backyards, I think they question if we're still up and running.

When there's no snow in town, it's harder to get people here. But the people coming out to the ski area are really surprised at how much snow we have out here. It looks like winter when you get to Mount La Crosse.

It's been a little less busy than we would have expected, over the last week. Fortunately, when we made snow, we made a lot of it.

People have big smiles on their faces, and we're glad winter is finally back.

Well, there's no business like snow business.

Clearly, we have plenty of mechanisms for clearing snow [but not] off the tops of buses after a heavy snowfall.
