EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — The Willamette Pass ski area just couldn’t win this season.

First, a paucity of snowfall left them bereft in the key Thanksgiving-to-Christmas ski season.

Now that they’re flush with the white fluffy stuff, visitors have opted for warm-weather activities in the valley instead.

That, KEZI-TV reports (http://bit.ly/HQ21Xn ) made for a difficult year. The ski area will close for the season on Sunday.

Late snow kept it from opening until January.

Willamette Pass Mountain Manager Israel Fuller says the ski area has about 10 feet of snow now.
