There's really no excuse to not issue rain checks if you choose to close with that much of the day left, particularly a day that turns pretty nice after the storm blows through. I get no refunds, but the consumer needs to get what they paid for
Wouldn't surprise me if they opened Thursday and maybe Friday with the runs they have released so far, while blowing mostly in the base area Thursday and Friday night to open with the high speeds on the busier weekend.
Seems like solid business sense.
