Both the Avalanche emporium and the Snowtapult are not working yet. I get an error message saying they are closed until next Winter!

: That's not an error. It's because it isn't winter yet. They should open around Dec 21st and last for the season, as opposed to being around for the Luminaire holiday.

Ah, thanks. I forgot It wasn't a Luminaire thing. (Just got two feet of snow here, s'hard to remember it's not Winter yet...) Answered. Locking.
