[Since its inception, I’ve always viewed the Holiday in Jan. as a good day to go skiing. Hence, “Martin Luther King Ski Day”. YMMV....]
You nailed it. It’s a scam by the rich wypipo to get another 3-day ski weekend.
I think they merged Birthington’s Wash Day with the same for Lincoln [or was it Ford?] to get to celebrate 0bama’s Presidency, or something.
Some January Mondays do have good conditions though. Good enough to enjoy and celebrate.
Not too many sheet stores with white sales in the mountains. :-(
