A popular ski center in Tuxedo will be closed this winter.

The Tuxedo Ridge Ski Center says it will close its tubes and slopes for the first time in eight seasons.

"If you look around here, the facility has seen better days and it needed some infrastructure and capital investment put into it, and we just couldn't pull that off in time," says owner James Mezzetti.

Mezzetti says he is working on a plan to reopen in 2016.
