Mad River Glen Ski Resort -
The warm temperatures earlier this week seem like a distant memory now but for some ski resorts it's causing problems.
It was anything but warm Thursday at Mad River Glen.
But even with the recent cold temperatures there's still not enough snow here on the slopes.
"Unfortunately with this warm spell here it's forced us to suspend operations," Mad River Glen President and GM Jamey Wimble said.
Wimble says the lifts have been shut down since Monday.
This slowdown comes off the heels of one jolly holiday season for the ski resort.
"The holiday week was absolutely fantastic," Wimble said
"We had some record revenue breaking days."
But before that mad river couldn't catch a break with the snow.
"We got off to a slow start we didn't open til Christmas Eve," Wimble said.
After an amazing holiday season many ski resorts across Vermont are experiencing the same thing.
But many of them can make their own snow and get by. Mad River still relies on the natural stuff.
Though the ticket window is closed right now they're hoping it will be open again by Saturday along with some of the trails. This holiday weekend is looking to shape up worse than last year's.
"We can't see anything big right now all they're saying is we should continue to see these clippers coming through and a lot of time we can pick up a lot of snow from those," Wimble said.
And with a holiday on the horizon mad river hopes that will be just enough to keep the slopes open for good.
