North America’s lone ski resort operating in summers only is open for business. Beartooth Basin, located about 85 miles from Cody, WY fired up its pair of surface lifts on Monday and will be open for the foreseeable future. The Cody Enterprise reports the bare-bones operation pushed back its opening date by two weeks amid the COVID-19 pandemic but are spinning the two poma lifts for Wyoming skiers and snowboarders.
