The first snow resort that people see when they come up the mountain is Snow Valley. It's the ideal place for people who don't want to drive any more - Big Bear is about another 20 miles further on. It's also the first place to feel the effects of the end of the season. It's mostly not a lack of snow but enthusiasm that causes the slopes to close. Snow Valley also suffers from the lack of a natural water supply and so making snow is more difficult for them. Although I'm not a skier, there is something sad at the sight of these slopes gradually losing their coverage together with the empty parking lots. Ah well, next year is around the corner.
