Shames Mountain Closes Sunday

Terrace's Shames Mountain will be putting a rather dismal ski season behind this weekend.

Sunday will mark the final day of operations this year following a four month struggle for snow and visitors.

General Manager Laird Carmichael says there's no doubt revenue is down this year.

He adds staff are finalizing details for early season-pass sales for the 2010-2011 year, and expects sales to begin within the coming weeks.

However, the news is much better further east.   Smithers' Hudson Bay Mountain is currently enjoying a solid 125 centimetre base and will remain open until April 11th.
