Freak tropical storm shuts resort

A freak subtropical weather system carrying warm temperatures and heavy rain has saturated the snowpack at Schweitzer Mountain Resort located at Sandpoint in northern Idaho (USA). The storm has not only delayed the resort's opening for last weekend; it is also causing some concern to local business owners who are beginning to feel the effects of a winter resort town without skiers. Due to severe rainfall and unstable snow conditions, the ski area will not be open until further notice.
