Still a few resorts, including Telluride Ski Resort, are optimistic about this weekend's turnout and don't believe the numbers will be affected that much, said Nancy Clark, the vice president of marketing. "We've been fortunate to get a lot of snow in the last couple of weeks, so our numbers are looking really strong and skiing is really good right now," Clark said.
