Paws Up Closes For The Winter, Cuts Jobs

Just a couple of days ago, my colleague Rigel Celeste mentioned the luxury camping trend and the Paws Up Resort in Montana. But the trend doesn't seem to have been enough to keep the resort open year round. KPAX in Montana reports that 70 employees at Paws Up will lose their jobs November 1st. Paws Up, which has been a four-season resort, plans to close for the next several months during the winter season, opening up only for the Christmas and New Year holiday period but then closing down until the snow melts around mid-April. The resort says they had a record summer but can't afford to stay open in the winter months.
