Ski Season Plays Catch Up

West Virginia’s five downhill ski resorts are making up for lost time. With seasonable temperatures arriving and snowguns laying down a blanket of snow, the resorts say they’re are hoping the MLK holiday weekend turns out to be one of the biggest weekends for the downhill industry. And the Herald-Dispatch reports that resort owners are hoping for big weekends through late March and into early April to make up for the slow start. Some 800,000 people visit West Virginia each year to ski and snowboard.
