UPDATE: Contrary to an earlier story, Swiss Valley Ski Area is NOT closed, and in fact will be open Christmas Day from 1-10p. Please contact the ski area for more information.
WESTERN MICHIGAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Some ski resorts in the Western Michigan area are able to remain open for customers, despite warmer temperatures this month.
For instance, Bittersweet Ski Resort in Allegan County was open at around 90% over the weekend, allowing customers to hit the slopes.
Resort officials say that if the weather is too warm, artificial snow cannot be properly generated. As a result, some ski resorts in Western Michigan have not been as lucky.
Regardless, resort officials expect a jump in business after the holiday season ends.
