LACROSSE, Wis. — The last skiers of the season plumped down into chairlift seats at Mount LaCrosse at 5 p.m. It was the end of the season. — the latest the slopes have been open since the first season in 1959. Darcie Breidel, general manager, described conditions as perfect with sunny skies despite recent rains that required snow-making machines to do a few days of extra duty.
