seasonal closure
Periodic business hibernation
Seasonal closure is the temporary shutting down of a place, facility, or activity during certain times of year.
Parks may have seasonal closures during winter months; fishing grounds close during spawning seasons.
The practice typically responds to weather, wildlife cycles, or visitor demand: The mountain pass is subject to seasonal closure from November through April.
