The post listed no reason behind the supposed closure.

Officials with the White Mountain Apache Tribe, however, issued a statement Wednesday night that contradicted the Facebook post.

According to a statement released by Gwendena Lee-Gatewood with the tribe, the ski resort is still open for business, with an opening day scheduled for December 15.

Lee-Gatewood said there was a management change on Wednesday that was done by the Tribal Council of the tribe. When asked about the Facebook post, Lee-Gatewood said they do not know why the post was made, and reiterated that employees are to still report to work.
