Proof of global warming! Ski resort forced to close because of heat. And melt! And hotness!

"It only took eight months, but closing weekend is finally here...
 Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the 2013-14 ski and ride season one of the best in A-Basin's history.
We'll be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 20-22), and will be closing our lifts for the season this Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
 We were the first to open, the last to close, and we were able to extend the budgeted season for three extra weekends!
We recorded 440+" of snow over the course of the season, allowing for 241 days (as of Sunday) of lift-served skiing and riding.
Because of awesome guests like you (and your families and friends), we had the second-highest number on record of skiers visit the Basin.
Wow.  "
