Don't believe everything you read on social media, the
White Mountain Apache Tribe is saying.
The tribe plans to open the
Sunrise Park Resort on Friday, December, 22, despite a
post on Facebook claiming the ski facility was closed indefinitely.
"Sunrise Park Resort did not shut down," Gwen Dena Lee-Gatewood, a spokesperson for the tribe, told The Arizona Republic. "There was management changes yes, but not shut down. Despite what happened, business is business and must move forward."
Lee-Gatewood told the paper that three employees in management positions were let go on Wednesday. That same day, a post on Facebook showed up, claiming "Sunrise Park Resort is closed until further notice. Effective December 13, 2017."
The post is still up as the tribe looks into the matter. The most recent post on the page was dated October 21.
