It goes without saying that this decision was not made lightly," HMR said in a statement.The resort said its financial backer has withdrawn support for the 2024-25 season due to issues stemming from renovation plans .
Staff at the shop said their fear now is that HMR will be bought up by a larger ski company, losing its low prices and unique character. "The trend seems to be that the pass prices are going down, so the people that ski a lot are having better deals than they ever have. On the other hand, people that want to learn to ski, which to me is the future of the ski business and my industry and the sport itself, it's very, very difficult at this point," said Whitehouse.KTVU reached out to Homewood Mountain Resort and is awaiting comment.KTVU digital content producer Andre Torrez contributed to this report.
