The website crashed after less than a day of operation. The drawing will allow snowboarders and skiers access to the next possible day.

The resort is only holding drawings one day at a time.

"I'm just going to give it a shot. I'm retired. I can stay on hold a long time, so that's not usually an issue," said

Face coverings and social distancing will be required. Tailgating is not allowed. Lift hours will be 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m.
