Dry Ski Area Hurts Mount Shasta

Mt. Shasta Ski Park

It's not enough to call the snowpack from last winter low in California. 

By the end of the measuring season, there was no snow to measure. 

At Mt. Shasta, the ski park didn’t open for long last winter and it won't open for summer activities, to keep costs down and save money. 

Depending on snow has turned into a risky business in the region. 

Mt. Shasta Ski Park Marketing Director Michael Smith joins us with the strategy for survival.
