He drives back down the
ice-covered road to the snow gates at the bottom of
the hill to give the bad news to his staff. Colin understands the mountain's
moods only too well. Born and bred in this area, the mountain's been part of
everybody's lives since they learned to walk,
learned to ski. My father first took me up skiing
here when I was five years old, so I've been skiing for a few years! Hello. Ten minutes it just went sheet ice. It's going cold, isn't it? Just going to bin it for the day. Put staff home
and try again tomorrow. Another day, another closure. Despite all the efforts of his team, Colin hasn't managed the
early-season opening he was hoping for. No point in getting disappointed,
it's just part of your life up here. It happens every year,
and you know it's going to happen. So we just deal with it, move on
