Feb 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Although cause of the fire that broke out at the Cockaigne Ski Center in Chautauqua County last still remains to be unknown, the Cockaigne Ski Center has announced plans to re-open. As per the latest reports, the Cockaigne Ski Center is scheduled to re-open on Wednesday itself.
The Cockaigne Ski Center situated in the western part of New York was forced to shut down after the ski area lost its main lodge in a fire that affected it last month only. The Austrian Pavilion, the landmark lodge of the Cockaigne Ski Center was destroyed by the fire on January 24. According to sources, the management of the well-known ski center said that the skiing slopes will once again be made open for the public will from February 2. The Cockaigne Ski Center’s main lodge was damaged last week after a late night fire broke out causing the wooden structure to be burnt badly. The famous wooden landmark lodge of the Cockaigne Ski Center is actually Austrian in origin and was brought to America after Cockaigne purchased it in 1965, a year after it was built in Austria for the 1964 World’s Fair held in New York.
The reason why Cockaigne Ski Center has been able to re-open themselves so fast owes a lot to the entire Cockaigne community who have made some good amount of donations for the re-opening. Sources have reported that many ski resorts and ski shops including the National Guard, Midway State Park, Holiday Valley and Peek ‘N Peak have made donations of rental equipment to the Cockaigne Ski Center. The fire causes are still being investigated by the fire department.
