EDEN, Weber County — Nordic Valley Ski Resort was closed Monday due to an early morning fire.
A fire was reported in the resort's "barn" about 1:50 a.m.
"A mountain worker noticed flames and smoke emanating from the unoccupied lodge. Upon arrival, crews were met with a working incident. Due to buried hydrants, heavy wind, smoke, and freezing temperatures, battling the fire was challenging and demanding, causing it to burn through a wall and up through the roof," the Weber Fire District posted on its Facebook page.
"Unfortunately, the entire barn was damaged, including our ticket office, restaurant and business offices. Due to these unforeseen circumstances we will be closed until we can get equipment to print and validate tickets," the resort said in a statement.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Weber Fire District with assistance from the Ogden Fire Department. No date had been set as of Monday for reopening.
