Glen Eden Ski liesort have been any happier Unusually warm weather conditions limited the amount of time the resort could be open and having the warm spell around the Christmas holiday dampened what is normally a busy period But now that the tern have relumed to the seasonal norm resort officials are confident they can get back all the flnan da I losses they incurred due to the warm wealh er We don t look at it financial lasses until after the season Is over said Glen Eden marketing manager Carol Patterson But naturally If you I open during Christmas you do lose some flnan daily Presently three of the hills arc operating with resort employees working on making fie snow for the fourth If cold tempe ratures persist for the next week or so Patter son said patrons can expect the Glen Eden facility to be fully operational with all 11 hills ready It a bonus if we get snow she said We can do much of It with man made snow but we cant start until the temperature is down to degrees Celsius at least I would expect everything to be open within a week pro id it stays cold she said Traditionally the ski resort does open for business until the middle of December but this year Glen Eden opened the second week end in December but did close down until just three days leading up to Christmas The facility did not open again until However a saving grace for Glen Eden is that many schools will not open for class until this week so the ex ten holiday allowed many more patrons to ski and thus gave Glen Eden a chance at recouping their Christ Currently Glen Eden Is offering reduced ski
