It's ironic too, this restricted opening of the chairs for the biking season.. Last winter, into sept, there was a late snowfall and buller jumped all over it, instantly extending their ski season through to somewhere in oct. very rash and ultimately foolish, as it warmed straight back up and didn't snow again - as any normal person would have predicted - but they had to run the time out as it was announced and must've incurred lossesdue to their own greediness. Then this year, a good dump in early june(I think, could even have been may), and they announce the chairs will fire up early.. And what happens? as any normal person would predict, it was the usual early dump followed up by nothing and they were open, incurring losses, again due to their greediness and small percentage gambling on a very fickle point. Then they turn around and decide to run a single chair for 1 month only for riding in summer, when you can rely on atleast 6 months of the year to turn on good weather for it.. Get behind a sustainable and growing industry Buller, stop backing away from it.. because in a few more years from now the summer may just be the main season offering conditions that are usable. Winters are getting shorter and milder and sorry but man made snow just doesn't cut it..especially when you can go ski 15 meters of annual snowfall in japan plus an international holiday for about the same cost.. Wise up.
