Public holiday or not, Grimentz was closed!
I know, I suppose it's all about money. Zinal were always going to run the lift anyway for the racers, so the extra costs of allowing punters up was probably offset by day tickets and business for the restaurants. At Grimentz they'd have had to offset the entire cost and there wasn't so many paying customers once you've subtracted people on season tickets. That's my guess anyway.
