Can June Mt survive anothe season?

This has been a recurring question for decades, but things looked brightest after 1986 when Dave McCoy bought June more or less out of bankruptcy, and boosted June-specific income by improving customer service and upgrading trail and lift facilities, while maintaining most of June's distinctive flavor. The best years were probably in the late 90's, after a unique tramway lift (Yan QMC) was installed from the parking base to the main chalet, 1000 feet above the best steep expert terrain on the mountain, combined with the fact that Mammoth still did not permit snowboards, and June welcomed them..

Then the QMC became unusable after the Yan lift disasters and subsequent bankruptcy, snowboards were allowed at Mammoth without restriction, and the recession piled onto bad snow years. When MMSA went public by a heavily-indebted buyout, the annual income became critical, and the weak snow/income 2011-12 year drove MMSA to suspend June's operation for the 2012-13 season to please creditors.

This year June re-opened, but unfortunately there was another weak snow season. The linked graphs show the June and June-Mammoth combined skier-day and income numbers through mid-April, which was when June closed for the season.

Will this weak financial year force MMSA to close June again creditors? The Forest Service statened last year that not operating June was a violation of the Forest Service permit, and they would declare the permit in default and offer it to other potential operators if MMSA does not keep June open.
