To your other point, I think most resorts just don't think the added PR of staying open late is worth running their operations in the red. BTW, as I'm writing this, I'm looking out the window at a very snowy morning here in Park City!

What I would really love to see is the ski day extended with the time change. When the clocks "spring forward" in the spring, why not keep the lifts going longer to take advantage of the added daylight and close an hour or so later especially out west where night skiing is not common as it is on the East coast?
