I just wanted to respond to your “WTF” article in your most recent (edition). Northwest and Pine Marten will be closing on the 20th. However the important part that you left out of your story is that the mountain will remain open until its “traditional closure” operating out of Sunrise Lodge and running the Sunrise and Summit lifts.

 We will also be running Skyliner lift until the end of the month, which is much longer than its “traditional closure”. I expect a little more from The Source. You should check your facts before jumping on the bandwagon with a negative, and false, spin on the information. To get the real facts, you can direct your readers to our website: www.mtbachelor.com.

Editor’s note: The story made no mention of the Sunrise and Skyliners lifts. But, yes, they will remain open into May
