Hello from the back office at the EWC!
I know many of you have been wondering why we have not been open the past couple of COLD nights, so I thought I'd share more on that topic.
The weather is being watched diligently, but calling weather triggers is still a challenge. At 10am the past two mornings the forecasts showed no wind, no precipitation and temps around 17, dipping to 15 around 6am. VERY COLD but not quite meeting our agreed upon weather triggers. As the day unfolded the temperatures dropped below that.
We have currently been open 2 nights, having 5 guests each night. We have budgeted for 40 nights if needed. We will continue to do our best to call the weather accurately and OPEN on the most severe nights this winter season.
Thanks for your dedication and support!
Cathie
Reminder of the triggers:
- 15 degrees or less for a period of 4 hours overnight
- A foot or more of snow predicted overnight
- Other "Extreme" weather conditions such as consecutive days of pouring rains, high winds with low temps.
