is tied to the amount of snow the ski area gets<\/a> in a given year, so its profits can be very unpredictable.<\/p>\nAbbott is confident that the mountain will remain as safe as ever, and that the ski area has a good relationship with the state, which is responsible for keeping the road to the ski area clear and safe. He ensured that the ski area won\u2019t pursue hard alcohol for a while, and the priority will be consuming responsibly.<\/p>\n
Responsible serving is the most important factor in preserving safety, Mountain Guard has advised Eaglecrest. The ski area\u2019s employees will not be the ones serving the alcohol, as Eaglecrest will bring in outside servers who all have Training for Alcohol Professionals (TAP) certification.<\/p>\n
Though there\u2019s still a great deal of work ahead, Abbott was pleased as he left Monday\u2019s meeting, knowing that the Assembly\u2019s support was as overwhelming as it was.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt shows that the Assembly was for it, the community was for it, so I think it\u2019s a good thing for the ski area,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cStaff is excited about it. It\u2019s another thing to bring a little more excitement to the ski area.\u201d<\/p>\n
